Main duties of the job
University College London Hospitals is seeking to appoint General Practitioners with a commitment to high quality patient care and innovative service delivery to work in the Urgent Treatment Centre of the Emergency Department at University College Hospital. Recruitment of a dedicated team of emergency primary care practitioners is a critical component of our workforce development plans for emergency care.

Opportunities will exist, subject to agreement, for the development of urgent care education, innovation and research. We view these posts as outstanding opportunities for professional development.
It is envisaged that the posts would be part-time as part of a portfolio role.

Applications are particularly welcomed from GPs and those who have recently completed postgraduate training, and current GPST3 trainees who would expect to have completed training by August 2020.
The Trust is also offering paid time (10% SPA) for directed activities following discussion with the GP UTC Lead.
