This is a new and exciting opportunity for interested GPs to be part of a new team and way of working, that is both innovative and integrated. As a Community Urgent Care (CUC) GP, working for the people of Oxfordshire, your role will be varied, interesting, and ultimately rewarding.

A key part of this role will also see you providing remote medical cover to our clinical co-ordination centre known as Single Point of Access (SPA) and our Urgent Community Response (UCR) home visiting teams (in conjunction with secondary care).
There may also be a requirement to work clinically in the GP Out of Hours Service as part of an agreed job plan, undertaking telephone triage, base visit consultations, and home visiting.
In all areas, you will be working with excellent multidisciplinary teams and benefit from an extensive programme of work we are undertaking to improve our systems and processes so that you feel supported and remain focused on your clinical work.
This is a substantive role and full-time/part-time hours are available - flexible hours can be considered that fit with the service model.
