Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

General Practitioner GP OOH Service

This job is now closed

Job summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen for motivated and enthusiastic GPs to be part of our dedicated, enthusiastic and proactive multidisciplinary team to support the GP Out of Hours Services (GP OOH) in Central Cheshire.

The GP OOH Service provides medical care to patients requiring urgent medical assessment, advice, treatment or referral out of hours. You will be working as part of an integrated team with triage nurses, advanced community practitioners, technicians, call handlers and a service management team.

Main duties of the job

We are looking for committed GPs to work on a sessional basis who are interested in developing the service model. We work closely with partners and communities to deliver NHS services that are safe, caring and effective.

Pay rates are competitive and sessions are provided during the evenings, weekends, overnight and bank holidays. Our service management team will work with you to support a positive work-life balance and tailor shift patterns to suit personal circumstances and lifestyle. Positions are available at Leighton Hospital, Crewe, and Victoria Infirmary, Northwich. This role can be worked on a contracted basis or zero hours contract.

GPs will need to be confident operating in a model whereby they will support ED with managing primary care presentations across the out of hours period to enhance patient experience and reduce ED attendances. We are continually working to improve the quality of care we provide including telephone consultations, home visits and face to face appointments working collaboratively with colleagues in the Urgent Treatment Centre to deliver excellent patient care.

About us

Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (MCHFT) provides good quality, safe and effective healthcare to the people of Cheshire and beyond. The Trust, which manages Leighton Hospital in Crewe, Victoria Infirmary in Northwich, and Elmhurst Intermediate Care Centre in Winsford, was established as an NHS Trust in April 1991 and became a Foundation Trust in April 2008.

We employ almost 5,000 members of staff, provide around 540 hospital beds, with a range of services including accident and emergency, maternity, outpatients, therapies, and children's health.

The Trust is also part of Central Cheshire Integrated Care Partnership (CCICP), a unique local health partnership that provides a range of community services for people across South Cheshire and Vale Royal.

During the Coronavirus pandemic, the Trust was recognised nationally for its 'Be Safe Be EquiPPEd' campaign, which aimed to make the Trust as safe as possible for staff and patients, through supporting the correct use of PPE.

The results in the 2020 national NHS Staff Survey showed improvements in all elements of the safety culture theme, with 92% of respondents feeling their role made a difference to our patients. We were also recognised nationally for our workforce health and wellbeing initiatives.

At Mid Cheshire, we value our staff and appreciate that in order to give our patients the best quality, compassionate care, we also need to look after our colleagues.
