We have an exciting opportunity for GPs to work directly for MFT within the NMGH UTC.

• Assessing and managing patients who present to the UTC with urgent primary care presentations, including carrying out appropriate investigations to aid with this.
• Provide support to staff within the UTC and wider emergency department where required.

• Facilitate a smooth and efficient flow of patients through the UTC.
