Job description

Nant Dowlais Health Centre is seeking a highly motivated and compassionate Salaried GP to join our friendly and supportive team for 4 sessions a week on a 6 month fixed‑term contract. A long term locum position may be considered, however a fixed term salaried contract is preferable. There is potential to transition into a permanent position post 6 months.

We are a well‑established, forward‑thinking practice supporting a 10,000 patient list, located in Cwmbran which is within 5 miles of the M4 corridor with excellent transport links to Cardiff and Bristol.

This is an excellent opportunity for a GP looking for a fulfilling role with flexibility, strong clinical MDT support, and the chance to become a long‑term member of our thriving practice at this exciting and changing time in General Practice.

Main duties of the job

Clinical responsibilities:

• Make yourself available to undertake a variety of duties, including surgery consultations, telephone consultations and queries, visiting patients at home, checking and signing repeat prescriptions and dealing with queries, paperwork and correspondence in a timely fashion.
• Make professional, autonomous decisions in relation to presenting problems, whether self referred or referred from other health care workers within the organisation.
• Assess the health care needs of patients with undifferentiated and undiagnosed problems.
• Screen patients for disease risk factors and early signs of illness.
• Develop care plans for health in consultation with patients and in line with current practice disease management protocols.
• Provide counselling and health education.
• Record clear and contemporaneous consultation notes to agreed standards.
• Compile and issue computer‑generated acute and repeat prescriptions.
• Prescribe in accordance with the practice prescribing formulary, or generically, whenever clinically appropriate.

In general, the post‑holder will be expected to undertake all the normal duties and responsibilities associated with a GP working within primary care.

This is not an exhaustive list of duties and responsibilities and in discussion with the recruiting manager.
