At the Smithy, we are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated salaried GP who is keen to be part of a larger organisation but working for a small GMS practice, to join our supportive multi-disciplinary team providing care for our 4,200 patients in and around the semi-rural area of Hollingworth village, in the foothills of the Pennines which is approx. 11 miles East of Manchester within Hyde, Tameside ( just 5 minutes drive from the end of the M67 which links to the M60).

We are looking for the successful candidate to provide five sessions per week ideally working on the following days:
Tuesday AM (1 session); Wednesday AM (1 session); Thursday Full day (2 sessions); and Friday AM (1 session) however contracts can be offered on an hourly basis or sessional.
Main duties of the job
You will provide routine and urgent clinical care for both acute and long term conditions working to local and national guidelines. The daily clinical workload is split equally amongst all clinicians with additional workload kept to a minimum by our excellent care navigation team, who work hard to signpost to the most appropriate of our extensive local community services. The home visit demand on the practice is generally low and often managed by our and PCN Paramedic team, however there are supportive measures required and you may be required to carry out visits occasionally. We have a practice pharmacist to support GPs with daily medicines management requests and reviews. All practice clinical admin (e.g. secondary care documents, path lab reports, patient nhs forms) is shared between clinicians daily. A typical day is structured with 15 minute appointments as standard (except for follow ups/results) with 2/3rds of the session being clinical and 1/3rd clinical admin. Sessions are 4 hours 10 minutes. Non NHS work is also a requirement of the role, however this is remunerated as additional income to the base salary.
You will need to possess strong leadership qualities providing support to the ACP trainees as well as other clinicians e.g pharmacist and PCN paramedics.
You will be expected to work with the team to continually strive to improve standards of care and, in particular, achieve QoF targets and KLOE objectives as outlined by CQC.
