Locum GP Required | Long Term Locum Post | Somerset | Great Rates Hourly or Day

Locum GP required for an ongoing position in a GP surgery setting based in an idyllic town in South Somerset on the Dorset Border. The practice is a well-established, friendly, patient-centered practice close to the Jurassic Coast and with beautiful surrounding countryside. It is a semi-rural practice based in a Somerset market town with purpose-built premises and an in-house part-owned pharmacy. This particular role will be based primarily at one site but there will be a possibility you will be required to do some sessions at their sister site based just 0.2 miles away being a 3-minute walk or 2 minutes via car. This particular practice benefits from a high quota of nursing and support staff consisting of 2 nurse practitioners, 5 nurses, 1 ECP, and 5 HCAs.

The two sites combined service a joint circa 11,000 patient list in the local community. The role available will allow for a GP looking to work full time Monday to Friday on an ongoing locum basis but also if you as a GP are just looking for a couple of regular days a week on a structured basis this can be accommodated. So please do apply if interested or if you would just like some additional information before making a decision please contact me on 0118 321 2820 or via E-mail; [e-mail].

Duties will include:

1. To proactively manage the health of the patient list with the support of the EPC team (including health coaches, care coordinators, advance nurse practitioners, social workers, mental health workers etc.) with the emphasis placed on patients where there are clinical concerns.
2. To conduct face-to-face consultations with patients requiring GP input.
3. Compiling and issuing computer-generated acute and repeat prescriptions (avoiding handwritten prescriptions whenever possible).
4. Prescribing in accordance with the practice prescribing formulary (or generically) whenever this is clinically appropriate.
5. To provide extended appointments and/or home visits for patients where this need has been identified.
6. To act as a clinical liaison providing feedback/information on practice patients who are being supported through EPC and the Complex Care teams while working closely with hospital consultants, community agencies, and the voluntary sector to find new ways to support patients.
7. To record clinical information in the GP practice computerized clinical software systems.
8. The GP would be able to help “mould” their role by providing regular feedback to the EPC working group and SHS to help develop the job in a way that best suits the EPC model. They would also have a role in teaching/training the wider practice team, including both clinical and non-clinical colleagues.
9. To adhere to the professional standards as set out by the GMC.

We can offer shifts and rotas 2 months in advance so please do apply if you are thinking of doing locums now or in the future. We are able to wait for GPs who have a notice period that needs to be adhered to so please do still apply if you have a 3 month + notice on your current contract and are looking to work as a locum GP.
