Enhanced Access General Practitioner

The postholder will provide high quality primary care services as part of the Enhanced Access Service, delivering care to patients across the local Primary Care Network (PCN). The role may be undertaken either through face to face consultations at designated Enhanced Access sites or via remote consultations (telephone and/or video), depending on the session booked. The postholder will ensure patients receive timely, safe, and effective care during enhanced access hours.

The GP will undertake the full range of clinical duties expected within a general practice setting, including patient assessment, diagnosis, treatment, prescribing, referrals, and the investigation and interpretation of test results. Where ongoing management or follow-up is required, this will be communicated appropriately to the patient's registered practice or relevant healthcare provider.

Sutton Primary Care Networks is the collaborative vehicle for the four Sutton PCNs and the former Sutton GP Federation working together as a single entity. We are a Community Interest Company that aims to reinvest surpluses back into general practice and primary care for the benefit of our practices and the people who form the communities we serve. Sutton has four PCNs whose boundaries are based on historical relationships and groupings of organisations. There are some similarities of residents health and care needs unique to a particular PCN, and many more needs that are shared across all four PCNs. Our four PCN represent all 22 GP surgeries in Sutton. Their collective footprints cover all of the London Borough of Sutton and its residents who are able to access and benefit from the services and improvements offered by Primary Care Networks. Primary Care Networks (PCNs) are a key part of the NHS Long Term Plan, with all general practices being required to be in a network by June 2019, and CCGs/Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) being required to commit recurrent funding to develop and maintain them.
