Locum GP Required | Long Term Locum Post | Somerset | Great Rates Hourly or Day
Locum GP required for an ongoing position in a GP surgery setting based in an idyllic town in South Somerset on the Dorset Border. The practice is a well-established, friendly, patient-centered practice close to the Jurassic Coast and with beautiful surrounding countryside. It is a semi-rural practice based in a Somerset market town with purpose-built premises and an in-house part-owned pharmacy.
This particular role will be based primarily at one site, but there may be a possibility you will be required to do some sessions at their sister site, which is just 0.2 miles away (a 3-minute walk or 2 minutes via car). The two sites combined service a joint circa 11,000 patient list in the local community.
The role available will allow for a GP looking to work full-time Monday to Friday on an ongoing locum basis. If you are looking for a couple of regular days a week on a structured basis, this can also be accommodated. Please apply if interested or contact me for additional information.
Duties will include:
1. To proactively manage the health of the patient list with the support of the EPC team (including health coaches, care coordinators, advanced nurse practitioners, social workers, mental health workers, etc.) with an emphasis placed on patients where there are clinical concerns.
2. To conduct face-to-face consultations with patients requiring GP input.
3. Compiling and issuing computer-generated acute and repeat prescriptions (avoiding hand-written prescriptions whenever possible).
4. Prescribing in accordance with the practice prescribing formulary (or generically) whenever this is clinically appropriate.
5. To provide extended appointments and/or home visits for patients where this need has been identified.
6. To act as a clinical liaison providing feedback/information on practice patients who are being supported through EPC and the Complex Care teams while working closely with hospital consultants, community agencies, and the voluntary sector to find new ways to support patients.
7. To record clinical information in the GP practice computerized clinical software systems.
8. The GP would be able to help “mould” their role by providing regular feedback to the EPC working group and SHS to help develop the job in a way that best suits the EPC model.
9. To adhere to the professional standards as set out by the GMC.
We can offer shifts and rotas 2 months in advance, so please apply if you are considering doing locums now or in the future. We are able to wait for GPs who have a notice period that needs to be adhered to, so please still apply if you have a 3 month+ notice on your current contract and are looking to work as a locum GP.
