Job summary
OOH GPs needed to provide face to face patient care in Oxfordshire!
(Very competitive rates of pay offered)
Dear GP Colleagues,
Oxfordshire's GP OOH service provides urgent medical advice and assessment to all patients living in the local area when normal primary care is closed. Operating between 6:30pm to 8am and 24 hours across weekends and bank holidays, the service provides advice and treatment for patients that have either called 111 or have entered the service through other means and require urgent primary care management. The service is provided by a multi-disciplinary team that includes GPs, Nurse and Paramedic practitioners, administrative and operational colleagues all working together to provide clinical care from up to 6 bases, over the telephone or during a home visit.
Main duties of the job
The service now requires additional GPs to join our team and provide face to face patient care.
This is an incredibly exciting time to join Oxford Health and our OOH service in particular as it forms a key component in the delivery of new services that will provide high quality medical care to patients in the community and as close to their own home as possible. Not only can you expect interesting and varied work dealing with acute medical problems in patients both young and old, you will also work with an excellent multidisciplinary team and benefit from the extensive programme of work we are undertaking to improve our systems and processes so that you feel supported and remain focused on your clinical work. You will also have opportunities to undertake alternative clinical roles, teaching, learning, and personal development offered by all of our community services as a whole.
About us
We are therefore keen to recruit additional sessional (bank) or salaried GPs to our team that are at any stage of their career and can work any number of hours up to full time. This may be colleagues who have recently completed GP training or GPs that are further along in their career and wish to develop their portfolio career or are simply looking for a new challenge. We can offer an individually tailored induction programme to help you settle into your role followed by ongoing professional support from case review and peer feedback, all of which is designed to help you become an experienced and skilled OOH clinician.
