Job summary

Salaried GP

• Up to £11.6k per session
• 6 sessions per week: Mon, Tues, Thurs

With patient care at the forefront of all that we do, we have recently moved to a triage system to improve patient access. No more crazy 8am rush or telephone lottery for patients, instead we review patients on a needs basis, providing them with the right care, when they need it. For GPs, this refocuses your work on those patients that genuinely need a GP.

Main duties of the job

The role will involve a variety of face-to-face and telephone appointments and will include appointments to complete ward rounds and home visits.

You will work among a team of like-minded GPs, nurses and HCAs and will be supported by a GP Clinical Lead.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a company that values their people and patients over process, and we would love to hear from you!

Job description

• Clinical Care: Provide patient care via face-to-face, telephone, digital consultations and home visits.

• Triage & Patient Navigation: Participate in the triage hub rota, support the navigation team with clinical advice, and review or manage patient queries allocated to the GP.
• Safeguarding: Remain vigilant to safeguarding concerns, follow safeguarding protocols and escalate concerns promptly, seeking guidance from the Designated Safeguarding Lead or Group Manager when required.
• Professional Development: Maintain up-to-date clinical knowledge through ongoing training, peer learning and supervision. Support the education and training of students, junior doctors and other healthcare professionals where appropriate.
• Clinical Governance & Quality: Support the practice in meeting national targets (e.g. QOF, IIF and access standards), comply with clinical governance requirements, participate in audits and meetings, and manage time effectively across clinical and administrative responsibilities.
