Main duties of the job
Duties and Responsibilities
The duties of the post holder
are to provide a full range of general medical services which will include
domiciliary visits as deemed appropriate. You will also be encouraged to

child health surveillance, family planning, training, etc., and the Partnership

About us
We are a friendly, well organised,
GMS teaching, training, and research-active practice with high QOF scores and
an outstanding CQC rating. We are a team of more than 30 staff and consider
it important to maintain a supportive team ethos. An aligned paid morning break
is offered to all clinical staff to support team relationships and discuss any
clinical queries.
The Partners, all approved GP
Trainers, are providing care alongside Salaried GPs, Nurse Practitioners, and Physician Associates, looking after 11,000
patients. We are supported by a full complement of Practice Nurses and HCAs and,
in addition, Additional Role Reimbursement Scheme clinical staff employed via
our PCN, including First Contact Physiotherapist, Paramedic, Health &
Wellbeing Coach, Mental Health Practitioners, a Dietician and Care Coordinator. We use EMIS
Web, Docman 10 and AccuRx.
All clinicians are supported
to develop personal interests and as a result we have excellent links with
academic and educational work, local practice networks and the ICB. We are a
very experienced training practice taking medical students and GP ST grade
doctors, as well as Physician Associate Interns, Practice Nurses in their
Foundation Year, and student nurses. Together we bring our experiences from
outside the practice to innovate and push the standards of care we provide
higher. We hold regular practice meetings which include safeguarding,
palliative care, significant events and Quality Improvement.

Clinical Duties
A standard session is 4 hours
10 min. In all advertised role options we offer administrative time in excess
of the BMA Standard Contract. Matching the clinical sessions of partners, 10
minute appointments are usually scheduled at 15 minute intervals, however, this
can be flexible to accommodate personal preferences, provided that the same
number of patient encounters are delivered (i.e. admin time can be used for
catch-up throughout the day).
The clinical sessions will consist
of a mix of face-to-face and telephone consultations, although we are keen to
embrace the advantages of the new ways of working that we have developed
recently, including video and online consultation. Patients can currently book
a routine face to face appointment, or have one remotely if preferred.
On-call days cover core hours for
General Medical Services and are structured differently. Currently the on-call
GP timetable has no pre-booked appointments, allowing for time to field urgent
queries, provide clinical oversight and supervision as necessary, as well as
complete administrative tasks. The on-call GP also manages the majority of incoming
online consultations. Our PAs are primarily responsible for urgent home
visits; the on-call GP only has to undertake visits if the patients need is
particularly complex, palliative or in the unusual circumstances that the
visiting PA capacity has been used up.
Administration/paperwork
The job plan allows sufficient
time to complete all administrative duties related to your clinical work.
Within this time, patient contact may occur e.g. through telephone calls or SMS
to efficiently deal with results and incoming letters. It is for this reason
that we provide a greater administrative:clinical time ratio than the BMA model
contract
Group and Continuing Professional Development
We value your continual
professional development and professionalism and to that end we will encourage peer
support. We encourage open dialogue and conversation that will assist you with
your personal development and growth. The practice is a training practice and
you will be expected to provide appropriate support for any students or training
grade clinicians in the Practice. Salaried GPs are encouraged to attend
protected learning time sessions arranged by the ICB. The practice provides an
annual continuing professional development allowance aligned to the BMA model
contract.
