In recent years the role of General Practice and Community Care has expanded at an exponential rate. Traditionally, GPs with a small team were able to meet the vast majority of their patients' needs. Over time, societal change, population increases, and role expansion have changed the face of General Practice forever. We are seeing ever more complex patient care needs and targets. It is very clear and perhaps unsurprising then that additional GP time is essential in modern General Practice. This developmental role for newly qualified GPs offers a rich supportive learning environment. This new GP role offers carefully defined and limited hours and does not require the GP to hold a list. It is an opportunity to work in a highly organized, friendly, and progressive team but with a lower intensity job than our traditional salaried GP roles.
Main duties of the job
The applicant should be a qualified General Practitioner in their first two years post completion of training. The post holder will be able to work as an Independent General Practitioner (however mentorship will be offered, and the supportive team, clinical and non-clinical, will help and support the doctor in their new role). The post holder will be part of the Island City Network Team and will be expected to be able to undertake all normal GP work including face-to-face consultations, telephone triage and consultations, home visits, and GP administration work. Work will be varied between routine and same-day work. It is vital the GP understands that a key part of the role is to reduce workload for other members of the primary care team and provide effective, efficient care for patients. About us
