Job description

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. Tuesday working is also a possibility to discuss with the Surgery. This is an excellent opportunity for a GP looking for part-time work with a practice that values its staff.

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

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.
