Job summary
Join a progressive, well run practice where the patient is a
priority and a sensible working day still exists. This is a fixed term six
session GP role, covering maternity leave, within a supportive, forward thinking team that values
autonomy, good communication, innovation and calm, organised systems.
You will work across our main and branch site, within a
total triage model that gives GPs control over how they run their day.
Clinicians triage their own patients and decide how best to manage them,
whether that is face to face, by phone or digitally. Appointments are fifteen
minutes and the day is structured but flexible.
On call duties are shared fairly across the team. We are EPS
enabled, well staffed and focused on doing things properly rather than
reactively. There is scope, for those who wish it, to become more involved in
the longer term development of the practice, including potential progression to a permanent role.
We are not your standard GP surgery. We stand out from the
crowd and work hard to be a practice that inspires others. We aim to be an
employer of choice.
Main duties of the job
Provide high quality, patient centred general medical
services
Triage and manage your own clinical workload using a total
triage approach
Deliver consultations in a format appropriate to clinical
need
Participate in the shared on call rota and home visiting
Contribute to continuity of care across the main and branch
sites
Work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team
Take part in practice meetings and service development where
appropriate
About us
We are an established practice based in Ammanford, with a
branch site in Glanamman. Our clinical team includes 8 GPs, a Physician
Assistant, a pharmacy team, a Frailty Lead, practice nurses and HCAs.
We are a friendly, supportive practice where everyone has a
voice, regardless of role. Decisions are discussed, ideas are listened to and
people are treated with respect. We care about doing the job well, and we care
about the people doing it.
We do not rest on our laurels. We are keen to move with the
times, open to new ways of working and thoughtful about how changes affect both
patients and the team. We value continuity and stability, and as the practice
evolves there is scope for this position to become permanent.
