The Practice is following the recommendations outlined in the BMA Safe Working in General Practice and appointment length is therefore 15 minutes with breaks allocated throughout the day. A standard clinic is 13 patients in the morning and 12 patients in the afternoon. Duty sessions are shared out across the week by the GP Team. Your duty Support session will ordinarily be once every week with the day to be confirmed by the rota. You may be required to support your team by doing an additional Duty Doctor session when there is sickness or Annual Leave. Visits: The majority of visits will be covered by our Paramedic Team but there will be times when you will need to visit patients. During periods of annual or sickness leave we would expect some flexibility to help cover the visits required. Administration: You will be responsible for the filing of your own requested investigations for your patients. If GPs are on leave, you may receive some of theirs in rotation to deal with. Filing of letters/blood tests - are distributed based upon your allocated amount of patients on the practice list and sessions worked. We have an automated workflow system (Anima) here that the administrative staff deal with. This has a beneficial effect on administrative tasks for GPs. Signing of prescriptions This is this done electronically and/or paper form. Scripts are signed by the Duty Support Doctor. We undertake ETP here, so it is a mix or both electronic and paper signing. Meetings: Regular Clinical Team meetings Twice Monthly on Tuesdays & Wednesdays - these can be joined via Teams PLT Events - External and in house PLT Monthly Team Meeting Daily educational morning break (10.30am - 11am) to discuss case loads and share best practice tips with fellow clinical team. Mentor: If you would like a mentor we would allocate a GP partner mentor, who is available to support you, although you may of course discuss any concerns with any of the Partners or GP colleagues.
