FANTASTIC PORTFOLIO OPPORTUNITY FOR GPs LOOKING TO DIVERSIFY THEIR CLINICAL WORK AND JOIN OUR COMMUNITY HOSPITAL REHABILITATION AND FRAILTY TEAM.
We have a vacancy on Tuesdays for a GP based at Abingdon Community Hospital (hours 09:00 to 17:30).
Closing date for applications will be 09:00 Monday 3rd March 2025 and interviews will be held from 10th March 2025.
In recent years we have developed a team of GPs that provide medical cover to our community hospital wards across Oxfordshire. Our GPs are thriving, thoroughly enjoying their role in these settings and working as part of a highly effective multi-disciplinary team. We are now looking to recruit additional GPs to our team of medics as the service continues to develop.
This is a great opportunity for any GP with the following benefits:
* Currently no out-of-hours commitment although this may be needed in the future as the service develops – subject to agreement between the doctor and their line manager.
* Competitive salary plus NHS pension and employment benefits. Continued Professional Development is paid in addition to your direct clinical working hours.
* Low amount of paperwork and administrative duties.
* Opportunities for teaching and mentoring clinical staff, for personal development and for working across our other clinical services if desired.
* Opportunities to undertake Quality Improvement, research and innovation projects.
The role of the GP for their designated Community Hospital site will include:
* Proactive assessment of new admissions to the ward including ‘medical clerking’ within the clinical IT system, medication review and prescribing and escalation planning.
* Performing a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment alongside the MDT to optimise patient health and working with the patient, their family and the MDT to create advanced care plans.
* Responding to medical concerns as they arise including history taking, examination, investigation, diagnosis, treatment and onward referral when appropriate.
* Planned formal weekly review of all patients on a ward round and involvement in weekly MDT meetings.
Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust has been rated as good by the CQC. Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust is a responsive and innovative Foundation Trust that places our values of Caring, Safe and Excellent at the heart of everything we do. We take great pride in our staff and believe that investing in you is key to us achieving our vision of outstanding care delivered by outstanding people.
We have community hospital wards based in Abingdon, Witney, Bicester, Oxford, Wallingford and Didcot.
The patients you would be caring for are receiving ‘step down’ nursing care and rehabilitation following an admission in secondary care or ‘step up’ care from the community. Occasionally some patients require palliative care. Work will be a combination of ward-based work, ward MDTs and phone/remote support.
Training for successful GP applicants will be provided as needed on an individual basis.
