Salaried GP

You

will work alongside GPs and other colleagues providing full general practice

level healthcare to our 12,547 patients, with a proportionate number of

patients under your care to support continuity. Additionally, we would welcome

you taking on clinical leadership for a particular area of interest or need

within the practice over time.

Your

working week will be divided into sessions (morning and/or afternoon) including

face-to-face and telephone appointments, Duty GP cover, and administrative

time. A buddy system is in place to ensure support amongst GP colleagues for

pathology and correspondence during annual leave, and all GPs provide clinical

support and leadership to the wider practice team.

We

are supported by the PCN Team Up service and our wider clinical team, who

undertake the majority of home visiting. On occasion, you may be asked to

complete a home visit (including palliative/end-of-life visits), for example

when the service is at capacity or where continuity and timely clinical review

is needed. Our team is cohesive and supportive, and we are proud of the

positive working culture we have developed at Whitemoor Medical Centre.

The

post-holder will manage a caseload and deal with a wide range of health needs

in a primary care setting, ensuring the highest standards of care for all

registered and temporary patients.
