Job responsibilities

Organisation Summary:

Whitewater Health, occupies two sites in both Hook and Hartley Wintney and is made up of circa 18,000 patients. We are looking for a qualified GP to join our excellent clinical team. You will be primarily based at one site, but you may be asked to work at either site on occasion. You must be able to work on a Monday.

We are a forward-thinking, progressive practice, committed to providing the best possible patient care. We are supportive of new ideas and ways of working and are consistent high QOF Achievers. We adopted Total Triage in July 2025 to ensure equitable access for patients to our services.

Day-to-Day Requirements:

We are recruiting a qualified GP into this role and have created this job specification to reflect this new way of working as a doctor in general practice. There will be no expectation to hold a patient list, and the associated work that goes with that. The position will include:

• 15-minute appointments, 25 appointments per working day
• A blend of on-the-day appointments for acute conditions and pre-bookable routine appointments
• Opportunity to develop skills in managing more complex, chronic conditions
• Support from the Triage Doctor in each practice
• Screening patients for disease risk factors and early signs of illness
• Covering all the clinical management of the patients you see in your surgery as appropriate including initiating investigations, reviewing results, making referrals to secondary care or to other providers as appropriate
• Developing treatment plans in consultation with patients and in line with current clinical guidelines
• Ensuring appropriate follow up and safety netting
• Recording clear and immediate consultation notes to agreed standards within clinical systems
• Prescribing generically whenever appropriately and in accordance with the Practice prescribing formulary, NICE guidance and Good Prescribing Practice (as defined by British National Formulary guidance)
• Working with and providing support for other members of the primary health care team

Our practice encourages a strong work-life balance and offers support to GPs to become clinically established within a primary care team. You will be well supported with ongoing professional development (training support, CPD, and peer support). The role will contribute to improving the quality of care of our patients across the network of practices. We would support the right candidate to develop the skills needed for a wider GP role in due course, such as safely manage a patient list and triage the daily clinical demand if this was of interest to them.

The ideal candidate will be professional, caring and passionate about providing quality care.

• Monday availability is essential for 2 sessions
• Ability to commute
• Work Location - In person

For further information please contact the Clinical Manager.

Job responsibilities

Wider Responsibilities

In addition to the primary responsibilities, the administrator may be requested to:

• Participate in any audits as directed
• Participate in local initiatives to enhance service delivery and patient care
• Support and participate in shared learning

Generic Responsibilities

All staff at Ammonite Health Partnership have a duty to conform to the following:

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

A good attitude and positive action towards Equality Diversity & Inclusion (ED&I) creates and environment where all individuals can achieve their full potential. Creating such an environment is important for three reasons: it improves operational effectiveness, it is morally the right thing to do, and it is required by law.

Patients and their families have the right to be treated fairly and be routinely involved in decisions about their treatment and care. They can expect to be treated with dignity and respect and will not be discriminated against on any grounds including age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. Patients have a responsibility to treat other patients and our staff with dignity and respect.

Staff have the right to be treated fairly in recruitment and career progression. Staff can expect to work in an environment where diversity is valued and equality of opportunity is promoted. Staff will not be discriminated against on any grounds including age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. Staff have a responsibility to ensure that you treat our patients and their colleagues with dignity and respect.

Safety, Health, Environment and Fire (SHEF)

This organisation is committed to supporting and promoting opportunities for staff to maintain their health, wellbeing and safety.

The post-holder is to manage and assess risk within the areas of responsibility, ensuring adequate measures are in place to protect staff and patients and monitor work areas and practices to ensure they are safe and free from hazards and conform to health, safety and security legislation, policies, procedures and guidelines.

All personnel have a duty to take reasonable care of health and safety at work for themselves, their team and others and to cooperate with employers to ensure compliance with health and safety requirements.

All personnel are to comply with the:

• Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
• Environmental Protection Act 1990
• Environment Act 1995
• Fire Precautions (workplace) Regulations 1999
• Other statutory legislation which may be brought to the post holders attention.

Confidentiality

The organisation is committed to maintaining an outstanding confidential service. Patients entrust and permit us to collect and retain sensitive information relating to their health and other matters pertaining to their care. They do so in confidence and have a right to expect all staff will respect their privacy and maintain confidentiality at all times.

It is essential that, if the legal requirements are to be met and the trust of our patients is to be retained, all staff must protect patient information and provide a confidential service.

Quality & Continuous Improvement (CI)

To preserve and improve the quality of the organisations outputs, all personnel are required to think not only of what they do but how they achieve it. By continually re-examining our processes, we will be able to develop and improve the overall effectiveness of the way we work.

The responsibility for this rests with everyone working within the practice to look for opportunities to improve quality and share good practice and to discuss, highlight and collaborate with the team to create opportunities to improve patient care.

This practice continually strives to improve work processes which deliver healthcare with improved results across all areas of our service provision. We promote a culture of continuous improvement where everyone counts, and staff are permitted to make suggestions and contributions to improve our service delivery and enhance patient care.

Staff should interpret national strategies and policies into local implementation strategies that are aligned to the values and culture of general practice. All staff are to contribute to investigations and root cause analyses whilst participating in serious incident investigations and multidisciplinary case reviews.

Induction Training

We will provide a full induction programme, and management will support you throughout the process.

Learning and Development

The effective use of training and development is fundamental in ensuring that all staff are equipped with the appropriate skills, knowledge, attitude and competences to perform their role. All staff will be required to partake in, and complete mandatory training as directed. It is an expectation for this post-holder to assess their own learning needs and undertake learning as appropriate.

The post-holder will undertake mentorship for team members and disseminate learning and information gained to other team members to share good practice and inform others about current and future developments (e.g., courses and conferences). The post-holder will provide an educational role to patients, carers, families and colleagues in an environment that facilitates learning.

Collaborative Working

All staff are to recognise the significance of collaborative working and understand their own role and scope and identify how this may develop over time. Staff are to prioritise their own workload and ensure effective time-management strategies are embedded within the culture of the team.

Teamwork is essential in multidisciplinary environments, and the post-holder is to work as an effective and responsible team member, supporting others and exploring the mechanisms to develop new ways of working and to work effectively with others to clearly define values, direction and policies impacting upon care delivery.

Effective communication is essential, and all staff must ensure they communicate in a manner which enables the sharing of information in an appropriate manner.

All staff should delegate clearly and appropriately, adopting the principles of safe practice and assessment of competence. Plans and outcomes by which to measure success should be agreed.

Managing information

All staff should use technology and appropriate software as an aid to management in the planning, implementation and monitoring of care and presenting and communicating information.

Data should be reviewed and processed using accurate SNOMED codes to ensure easy and accurate information retrieval for monitoring and audit processes.

Service Delivery
