Hertsmere Proactive Anticipatory Care (PAC) Service 4.5 Sessions per Week (18.75 hours) £12,000 per session Help Shape One of Hertsmere's Flagship Nei...
This is not a traditional GP surgery role and it is not a routine
clinic.
The successful candidate will act as the Primary Care Interface GP within the PAC multidisciplinary team.
Working alongside a Clinical Operational Lead, Nurse, Physiotherapist,
Paramedic, Pharmacist and Care Coordinators, you will provide senior primary
care clinical leadership and help ensure patients receive timely, coordinated
and holistic care.
The role focuses on helping the multidisciplinary team manage complexity
within the service wherever possible and preventing unnecessary work being
referred back into routine practice workflows.
The postholder will support the team with clinical decision-making,
investigations, medications, risk management, advance care planning and pathway
navigation for some of Hertsmere's most vulnerable patients.
- Participate in structured clinical triage of patients entering the service.
- Support allocation of patients to the most appropriate clinician.
- Participate in MDT reviews and complex case discussions.
- Provide senior clinical advice and support across the team.
- Support management of complex frailty and multimorbidity.
- Assist with diagnostic uncertainty and clinical risk.
- Support admission avoidance planning.
- Review patients requiring additional medical input following CGA assessment.
Advance Care Planning
- Support ACP and ReSPECT discussions.
- Assist with anticipatory care planning.
- Support clinicians with complex decision making around long-term care preferences.
Investigations and Monitoring
- Support the team with requests and interpretation of investigations.
- Advise on follow-up arrangements.
- Assist with management of abnormal results.
Medicines Optimisation
- Work alongside the service pharmacist.
- Support medication optimisation decisions.
- Assist with complex prescribing decisions and polypharmacy management.
Service Development
- Help shape and refine the PAC operating model.
- Support development of neighbourhood pathways.
- Contribute to service evaluation and improvement.
This role has been specifically designed around proactive care rather than reactive demand.
You will not be expected to run a standard surgery list.
Instead, you will be working with a dedicated multidisciplinary team to:
- Identify unmet need.
- Support Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment.
- Coordinate care across organisations.
- Remove barriers to accessing services.
- Support proactive management of frailty and complexity.
- Enable the team to work at the top of their professional licence.
- Reduce unnecessary workload being passed back into general practice.
The emphasis is on clinical leadership, collaboration and problem solving rather than volume consulting.
This role will be working as part of an integrated neighbourhood team comprising staff from primary care and community services with links to secondary care.
Herts Health GP Federation is a membership organisation supporting 8 local GP practices in Hertsmere.
We are a warm and welcoming team with great links to our local practices and community.
Criteria
Essential
- Hold full GMC registration and licence to practise.
- Are included on the GP Register.
- Have experience managing patients with frailty, multimorbidity and complex needs.
- Enjoy MDT working and system collaboration.
- Have strong communication and relationship-building skills.
- Are interested in neighbourhood working, proactive care and service development.
Desirable: - Experience in frailty, elderly care, admission avoidance, community services, anticipatory care planning or integrated care would be advantageous.
