About us

Intensive Care at Homerton is a busy and friendly unit, providing critical care to our local population and geared to their specific needs. We work actively with other units across the ICS to provide a timely and comprehensive service for our patients.

The Simulation Suite was officially opened in 2011. It is equipped with hi-fidelity mannequins including a Laerdal Sim-Man, Sim-Junior, Sim-Baby and Sim-NewB. The suite also has laparoscopic, GI-Bronch and ultrasound simulators. The sim team is exploring the possibilities of technology enhanced learning including Virtual Reality. There is a busy calendar of postgraduate and undergraduate courses being run by a diverse multi-disciplinary faculty, including mobile simulation.

The anaesthetic department has recently been recognised as an exemplar of practice by being the first in the country to be re-accredited by the Royal College of Anaesthetists quality assurance (ACSA) programme https://www.rcoa.ac.uk/node/29121. In particular, the reviewers recommended that our in-situ simulation programme be entered into their "good practice library" for other departments to learn from and emulate.

Similarly, our extensive in-situ simulation programme has been recognised by the Royal College of Physicians in its recent report, "Never too busy to learn" as innovative and exemplary.

You will be responsible for managing appointment bookings, responding to patient enquiries face to face, online and by telephone, and providing appropriate information and signposting to other services where required.

The role involves handling a high volume of telephone calls, welcoming and assisting patients at reception, processing requests and undertaking a wide range of administrative duties. You will be required to record information accurately on clinical systems and ensure that patient information is handled with confidentiality, professionalism and care.

You will work closely with GPs, nurses, healthcare professionals and the wider practice team to support the smooth and effective day-to-day running of the practice and contribute to the delivery of high-quality patient care.

This is a varied and rewarding role which requires excellent communication and organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to remain calm, courteous and professional in a busy and sometimes challenging healthcare environment.

A confident communicator who can build positive relationships with patients and colleagues.

Accurate and attentive to detail, particularly when recording information on clinical systems.
Able to use initiative, think on your feet and find solutions to help patients.
Committed to maintaining confidentiality and treating every patient with dignity and respect.

About us

Inspire Healthcare is a forward-thinking GP Partnership bringing together five practices across Gloucestershire, with a shared ambition to provide excellent, accessible and personalised healthcare to our local communities.

We are proud to be a collaborative and innovative organisation. While each of our practices has its own identity and strong connection with its local community, we work together as one team, sharing ideas, expertise and resources to continually improve the care and experience we provide.

We believe that the future of general practice is about embracing change, using technology intelligently and finding new and better ways of working. From digital services and new approaches to patient access, to developing our teams and working collaboratively across our practices, we are always looking for opportunities to improve.

Most importantly, our people are at the heart of Inspire Healthcare. We want our teams to feel valued, supported and empowered to make a difference. We encourage people to share ideas, learn from each other and play an active role in shaping how we work.

We are a friendly, welcoming and inclusive organisation, where teamwork matters and everyone has an important part to play.
