Maternity Locum GP

Job description

Job responsibilities

We would be interested to hear from a GP at any stage of their career, including recently or newly qualified GPs. We are offering a supportive package with mentoring to help someone starting off in practice or returning to practice after a break. We are looking to cover 4-5 sessions a week,and will run for approx. 9 months. There is potential to extend the contract as another partner is looking to take a 6 month sabbatical after this.

Supporting the whole practice team is very important to us and we have a daily morning huddle, weekly clinical meetings and lunch together every day. We are busy but have put in place lots of techniques to take the pressure off the doctors while providing excellent patient centred care.

Sessions have 15 patients maximum and you will work approximately one duty session per week. The duty sessions are also protected.

We have an expanding multidisciplinary team including a pharmacy team and a nurse practitioner. We also have Primary Care Network ARRS staff attached to the practice including a social prescriber, mental health workers and a physiotherapist. With the help of the whole team, we are striving to become the greenest practice in Brighton.

If you would like to know more, we would love to hear from you.
