Job responsibilities

We are seeking an enthusiastic and committed GP to join our team for 4 sessions per week,most ideally Monday AM & PM sessions and Friday AM & PM sessions.

Both newly qualified and more experienced GPs are welcome to apply.

Session Structure:- Standard session: 4 hours 10 minutes (3.5 hours clinical + 40 mins admin) - 15-minute appointments for face-to-face consultations - 10-minute appointments for telephone consultations - Manageable patient contacts per session (14 face-to-face at 15-minute slots, plus 40 minutes protected admin.) - The existing PA team manage most incoming clinical correspondence (Docman) and most labs, so this will not be required for this role - Home visits may be required from time to time but are generally managed by the Partners. Emis practice with AccuRx and Docman.

Clinical Responsibilities:-

• Face-to-face, telephone, and online consultations with patients presenting with undifferentiated problems - Assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and management of acute and chronic conditions

Practice Development: The practice does not currently use the Total Triage model but is monitoring its adoption in other local Surgeries and may transition to it in the future. We will keep all clinical staff informed of any planned changes to our operating model.

Teaching:Our Surgery enjoys supporting and teaching a diverse range of multidisciplinary professionals working in the Surgery, including physician associates, clinical pharmacists, health care assistants, practice nurses, physician associate students (St George's) and medical students (Royal Free/UCL). We are keen to recruit a GP who shares our enthusiasm for a range of teaching activities, including supporting physician associates at the weekly clinical meeting.

Annual leave: Pro rata (6 weeks full time equivalent)

What makes us different: - A calm, professional working environment - we support our clinicians when patient behaviour is challenging, addressing conduct amongst the patient population as a Surgery management priority, to ensure all staff can work productively and enjoy their time at the practice.

Very high staff retention - our team stays because they're valued. Regular social events throughout the year (boat trips, evening meals, bake-off competitions, bring-a-dish social lunches, Christmas celebrations) - £50 birthday gift scheme for staff who have completed probation - Modern facilities - all consulting rooms are air-conditioned - Supportive, collaborative working environment - Weekly clinical meetings to discuss cases, latest guidance, and protocols.
