The successful candidate will be highly driven, innovative, proactive and passionate about primary care. You will share our ethos to provide and maintain high quality clinical care in an ever changing environment and will help to shape and drive future development of the Practice.

Duties: The workload of the Surgery is shared jointly by the clinicians available on the day. The salaried GP is expected to take part in the share of clinical duties including the below list. The needs of the patient population and medical practice should be taken into consideration, meaning this list is not exhaustive and is subject to review and amendment by mutual agreement.

Clinical Duties: Appointments, visits, dealing with queries from patients or other health care professionals.

Home Visits (if appropriate and agreed): These are shared amongst the GP team or the Specialist Practitioner present on the day, if patient appropriate and depending on workload. AVS can be used where appropriate.

Remote Consultations: Some clinics may be required to be taken via remote consultation using the approved technology. Where operational standards are met for home working, remote clinics can be carried out at your place of residence or some other agreed place outside of the Practice as agreed with the Managing Partner.

Administration/Paperwork: Arising both directly from own and Practice caseload (referrals, investigations, results). The Salaried GP is responsible for their own patient-associated referrals, correspondence, administration, and paperwork. They will be expected to take a share of practice general incoming clinical correspondence (scanned documents), repeat prescriptions, results, and patient-associated tasks (patient enquiries and phone calls). Any results that get processed by yourself must be actioned appropriately including calling or texting the patient to inform them.

QoF & Clinical Read coding: Opportunistic and ad-hoc QoF monitoring, ensuring accurate clinical read coding, using templates where available, to assist with Practice contractual compliance and monitoring. The Salaried GP is responsible for ensuring that they are familiar with the protocols and procedures surrounding the collection of data, PPA, and invoicing for private or NHS chargeable (i.e., QOF, Enhanced Services etc.) to ensure that the Practice is reimbursed accordingly. Ardens templates should be used as appropriate to ensure accurate data quality in consultation.

Audits: All staff are expected to instigate and partake in the audit process including initiating and running cyclical audits to assist in providing quality of care for patients.

Meetings: The Salaried GP will be expected to attend relevant Practice meetings, essential to the delivery of team-based care, discussing clinical practice standards, developing practice protocols, mutual professional support for individual practitioners, audit, significant event analysis, meetings with locality colleagues including multidisciplinary team and educational meetings. Where these occur on an ad hoc basis, adjustments to clinical workload may be required.

Personal CPD: The Salaried GP is expected to keep up to date with all Practice Protocols and Policies associated with their job role including the Practices own Practice Index Online Training program. Professional CPD is expected to be maintained by the Salaried GP as part of the revalidation process. The Practice will support personal CPD. This may include a mix of in-house meetings and events, time away from the practice, either in private study, attending educational events, or through the Practice study leave allowance. The Salaried GP must request this leave via Practice Index and await management approval.

Clinical Supervision & Colleague Education: As a Senior Clinician, you will be expected to provide clinical supervision to non-GP HCP colleagues where appropriate. This may be in the case of individual clinical learning opportunities or in the supervision and guidance deemed appropriate in the course of supporting patient care. As a Teaching Practice, the Partnership will expect you to help supervise our F1/F2 Doctors where appropriate and to take part in mentoring Student Placements where you have been allocated to do so. Should this be the case, protected time will be allocated to facilitate this as agreed with the Managing Partner.
