Salaried GP

We are looking for a salaried GP to provide 5-6 general surgeries. The sessions are delivered over our two sites, in Kenton and Benwell respectively, depending on the needs of the Rota. The work timetable should ideally include full days on Tuesdays and Fridays with participation in the on-call Rota (1 day per week) and the Care Home Ward Round Rota (one session every 2-3 weeks.)

The surgeries will include clinical admin time as well as protected time for supervision of the medical students if necessary. The role will also include up to 2 lunchtime house calls that will have been triaged by the On-call GP. The start and finish times of the surgeries can be flexible to suit individual needs. The On-call GP covers both sites from 08:30 am-18 pm as the single point of Access and Triage of all house call requests, Urgent queries from the practice team, community and Hospital teams as well as complex medication queries. The on-call GP is also responsible for any house calls that need to be triaged and completed after lunchtime and until 18 pm. We offer a competitive salary (both experience and qualifications will be considered), indemnity paid (in addition to salary) and 6 weeks annual leave. We operate a standard BMA contract which includes protected CPD time pro rata. We support professional development and encourage applications from GPs with special interests.

Please refer to the enclosed job description and job specification and address any queries or requests to arrange an informal visit to our Practice Manager Mrs Margaret O'Neill at margaretoneill@nhs.net and copy Mrs Kelsey Hewitt kelsey.hewitt@nhs.net.
