Job description

Job summary

We are looking for a GP to work on alternate Saturdays for routine and long term condition reviews, providing enhanced access hours for our Primary Care Network (PCN), predominantly from our Asplands site.

At Ascent PCN, we offer something a little different from the usual weekend GP role. You'll be joining a friendly, welcoming team where our weekend clinics are staffed by a regular group of clinicians and support staff. This familiarity creates a strong sense of camaraderie, making weekends feel like a genuine team rather than simply an extra session. Appointments are longer and the surgery is calmer than during the week.

Ascent PCN brings together three practices and around 30,000 patients across four sites, spanning rural and urban communities and a wonderfully diverse range of socioeconomic backgrounds. This gives you the opportunity to experience the full breadth and variety of general practice within a single role.

Whether you enjoy the complexity of managing multimorbidity, the variety of undifferentiated presentations, or simply the opportunity to work with a diverse patient population, weekends will feel quite different to the norm.

You’ll be supported by an experienced and approachable team. We value collaboration, continuity and a positive working atmosphere and we'd love to welcome a GP who shares those values.

If you’re looking for a weekend GP role that offers variety and the chance to experience the very best of general practice, we’d love to hear from you.

Main duties of the job

Weekend clinics are comprised of usual GP duties including face to face and remote consulting, conducting long term conditions reviews, planned routine reviews and proactive care. Appointments on a weekend are 15 minutes long and there is no current requirement for home visits to be done. The sessions are "by appointment only".

The GP will undertake a variety of duties governed by the GMS contract and objectives of Enhanced Services, including:

• In person consultations
• Telephone consultations
• Checking and signing prescriptions
• Dealing with queries, paperwork and correspondence as required by weekend services
• Clinical administration including processing of results and coordinating referrals for specialist review
• Leading, supporting and advising the allied health professionals working in clinics during the clinic session.
• You may be the only GP on site so need the confidence and experience to cope with that.

About us

We are a 3 practice Primary Care Network covering around 30000 patients across 4 sites, varying from rural to urban, affluent to deprived populations.

• Asplands Medical Centre (Woburn and Woburn Sands)
• Fishermead Medical Centre
• Walnut Tree Health Centre

As a PCN we have an active ARRS and frailty team for you to access, including Physiotherapy, OT, Mental Health, Nurses, Social Prescribers, Health and Wellbeing and Pharmacists.

The Saturday Service runs a busy selection of nursing, additional roles clinics and group workshops, but expect to be the only GP on site.
