Job summary

We are looking for an enthusiastic GP to join our team to work 4 - 6 sessions per week; all of our staff work either a Monday or a Friday so candidates would be expected to have one of these days as part of their set sessions.

Main duties of the job

1 session = 1250 minutes

We may on occasion ask if it is possible to move your sessions (with notice) to meet the business need to provide safe care across the week during times of high absence to support colleagues.

Duty Sessions

Duty sessions will be allocated proportionately between Partners and Salaried GPs working each week, where possible we try to ensure that the sessions are split between AM and PM. Duty sessions are defined as follows and require you to be on site:

AM: 0800-1300PM: 1300-1800

Admin

All of our appointment are 15minutes, allowing for most admin to be completed within the appointment time, additionally you have the support of a secretarial team. For each duty session you cover you will be provided with an additional 60 mins of admin time within the next 5 working days (based on clinical cover) to compensate.

Teaching

We are a teaching practice and currently have Year 3, 4 & 5 medical students, as well as F2, ST1-3 trainees. We also support nursing student placements. All GPs at the practice are expected to participate in training of students and trainees, from them sitting in on clinics to supervising their patients and answering queries whilst on duty.

Breaks

Each AM session has a 30 minute break between 10-1030 for coffee/catch up in the common room.

Lunch is between 1-2pm in the common room for lunch. Occasionally there will be meetings during this time which you would be expected to attend and these can be classed as CPD
