Job description

The information below indicates the main areas of the job, but is not a complete picture of the role and this should sit alongside the job description for a salaried GP.

Clinics: 6 sessions per week, 3 full days, there is some flexibility around days.

Typical Day: 8:30 - 18:30

We are situated in central Chichester.

Main duties of the job

A standard clinic is 13 patients in the morning and 12 patients in the afternoon.

Duty Clinics are covered by two paramedics and an ANP; however, GPs are rotated to support the duty team each day.

You may be required to support your team by doing an additional Duty Doctor session when there is sickness or Annual Leave.

Visits:

The majority of visits will be covered by our paramedic, but there will be times when you will need to visit patients. During periods of annual or sickness leave, we would expect some flexibility to help cover the visits required.

You will be responsible for the filing of your own requested investigations for your patients. If GPs are on leave, you may receive some of theirs in rotation to deal with.

As a Named GP, you will cover those patients allocated to you.

Supervision of nurses:

If you are the Duty Support Doctor and a nurse needs a GP opinion, script signing, etc., then that is your responsibility. It is likely to be the Duty Team who cover the minor illness clinics. Outside of DSP, it's up to you as to how you develop that relationship; our nurses are highly experienced but will touch base with you where appropriate to discuss your patients, and you may wish to work closely with a nurse when you have referred a patient to them.

About us

The surgery is based in central Chichester. We are a dispensing practice with a list size of around 14,000.

We currently have 4 partners and a total of 10 Doctors, including two paramedics, one ANP, a Nursing Team, and a Clinical Pharmacist.

Job responsibilities

The practice is following the recommendations outlined in the BMA Safe Working in General Practice, and appointment length is therefore 15 minutes with breaks allocated throughout the day.

A standard clinic is 13 patients in the morning and 12 patients in the afternoon.

Duty sessions are covered by our paramedics and ANP. Your Duty Support session will ordinarily be once every week, with the day to be confirmed by the rota.

You may be required to support your team by doing an additional Duty Doctor session when there is sickness or Annual Leave.

Visits:

The majority of visits will be covered by our paramedic, but there will be times when you will need to visit patients. During periods of annual or sickness leave, we would expect some flexibility to help cover the visits required.

Administration:

You will be responsible for the filing of your own requested investigations for your patients. If GPs are on leave, you may receive some of theirs in rotation to deal with.

Filing of letters/blood tests is distributed based upon your allocated amount of patients on the practice list and sessions worked.

We have a workflow system here that the administrative staff deal with the high volume low impact items, which has a beneficial effect on administrative tasks for GPs.

Signing of prescriptions is done electronically and/or in paper form. Scripts are signed by the Duty Support Doctor. We undertake ETP here, so it is a mix of both electronic and paper signing. We have a dispensary too, so there are prescriptions to be signed for them when you are Duty Support Doctor.

Supervision of nurses:

If you are the Duty Support Doctor and a nurse needs a GP opinion, script signing, etc., then that is your responsibility. It is likely to be the Duty Team covering the minor illness clinics. Outside of DSD, it's up to you as to how you develop that relationship; our nurses are highly experienced but will touch base with you where appropriate to discuss your patients, and you may wish to work closely with a nurse when you have referred a patient to them.

Meetings:

Regular Clinical Team meetings are held twice monthly on Mondays - these can be joined via Teams.

PLT Events - External and in-house PLT.

Thursday GPCMEC sessions - As visits allow, although most GPs manage to attend on a fairly regular basis.

You will be allocated a GP partner mentor, who is available to support you, although you may of course discuss any concerns with any of the Partners or GP colleagues.
