Job summary

George Clare Surgery is a two partner part-dispensing practice in the Fens in Cambridgeshire. The practice list size is currently 12000 patients.

Our Mission Statement: We are committed to ensuring our patients and staff live happy, healthy lives.

Chatteris historically was the centre of the potato and carrot growing industry in Britain. The demographics of the population have changed over recent years and the town is now home to a more varied population including commuters and workers from overseas. The population has increased markedly and we have a high incidence of chronic diseases.

We introduced electronic medical records in 1987 and in 1989 we commenced training registrars which at the time was a first in South Fenland. The original surgery which itself had been purpose built in 1948, was too small for the rapidly growing population and we moved into our new premises in 1994.

Our new building also housed two shop units, one which continues to be a chemist and the other was an Opticians which has now become office space to deal with the increasing administration which we have to do.

Main duties of the job

• Telephone, face to face or video appointments with patients and occasional home visits
• A share of the administration attributed to the patients at the practice, including letters, tasks, prescription queries, Accurx and other reports
• Able to use SystmOne
• We would support the development of specialist interests (where aligned with the needs of the Practice)
• Support in the training and debriefing of GP Registrars
• Have a patient list and complete associated administrative duties
• PATCHS triage system
• 15 minute appointment slots
• Half-day triage sessions
• Mid-morning break

About us

We have an excellent practice team and we place great emphasis on trying to ensure the health and welfare of our staff. We have regular meetings within and between departments including a monthly staff meeting for all staff where all views are listened to and issues arising are discussed and addressed.

We are all aware of the stresses on General Practice and endeavour to work hard whilst remaining a supportive and friendly work environment.

All our GPs and ANPs contribute in their own way working with their individual strengths and interests. Each of us takes on a designated role and attends meetings related to their specific area and shares the information with the team. Our nurses and HCAs also have areas of interest and are involved in chronic health management. We are very lucky to have an outstanding team with our receptionists, dispensers/pharmacy team, social prescribers, physio and administration staff working extremely hard to ensure we provide responsive and safe care to our patients.
