Salaried GP

The appointed Salaried GP will provide medical services for the practice population to a high standard, including day-to-day activities such as Online triage and advice, face-to-face consultations, telephone consultations, Home visits, checking and signing off electronic prescriptions, processing test results, scanning and appropriate administration to ensure accurate records, patient continuity and quality care.

You will work as an autonomous practitioner, responsible for the

provision of medical services to the practice population, delivering an

excellent standard of clinical care. Furthermore, the post-holder will adhere

to the GMC standards for good medical practice, contributing to the effective

management of the practice, leading by example, maintaining a positive,

collaborative working relationship with the multidisciplinary team.

A good attitude and positive action towards ED&I creates an

environment where all individuals are able to 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 has 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 has a responsibility to ensure that they treat our

patients and their colleagues with dignity and respect.

This practice is committed to supporting and promoting

opportunities for staff to maintain their health, well-being and safety. You

have a duty to take reasonable care of health and safety at work for you, your

team and others and to co-operate 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 and other statutory

legislation.

This practice 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 protect patient information and provide a

confidential service.

To preserve and improve the quality of our output, 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.

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.

The effective use of training and development is fundamental to

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 and complete mandatory training as directed by the training

coordinator, as well as participating in the practice training programme. Staff

will also be permitted (subject to approval) to undertake external training

courses which will enhance their knowledge and skills, progress their career

and ultimately enable them to improve processes and service delivery.

All staff are to recognise the significance of collaborative

working. Teamwork is essential in multidisciplinary environments. Effective

communication is also essential and all staff must ensure they communicate in a

manner which enables the sharing of information in an appropriate manner.

Staff at Brentford Group Practice must adhere to the information

contained within practice policies and regional directives, ensuring protocols

are adhered to at all times. Staff will be given detailed information during

the induction process regarding policy and procedure.

The security of the practice is the responsibility of all

personnel. Staff must ensure they remain vigilant at all times and report any

suspicious activity immediately to their line manager. Under no circumstances

are staff to share the codes for the door locks with anyone and they are to

ensure that restricted areas remain effectively secured.

All personnel are entitled to take leave. Line managers are to

ensure all of their staff are afforded the opportunity to take a minimum of 6

weeks leave each year plus 1 week study leave and should be encouraged to take

all of their leave entitlement.
