Job description

Are you a newly qualified GP looking for something different?

We have a vacancy for an innovative ARRS PCN GP role within Seisdon Primary Care Network. The post is 5 clinical sessions and 1 CPD, to develop a specialist interest. There is the opportunity to be involved in ongoing MDT frailty and heart failure pilots.

Main duties of the job

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

• Make professional, autonomous decisions in relation to presenting problems, whether self‑referred or referred from other health care workers within the organisation.
• Cover all the clinical management of the patients in surgery as appropriate including initiating investigations, reviewing results, making referrals to secondary care or to other providers as appropriate.
• Develop care and treatment plans in consultation with patients and in line with current Practice disease‑management protocols and wider national guidance.
• Assess the health care needs of patients with undifferentiated and undiagnosed problems.
• Check, read and interpret pathological results.
• Ensure appropriate follow‑up of patients.
• Record clear and contemporaneous computerised consultation notes to agreed standards.

• Prescribe appropriately and in accordance with the Practice prescribing formulary, NICE guidance and Good Prescribing Practice.
• Work with and provide support for other members of the PCN, practice and primary health care teams.

About us

We are traditional practices that collaborate as a cohesive and well‑developed PCN team. You will be hosted within a supportive environment at two of our PCN practices, located in Wombourne, Claverley, Perton, Bilbrook, Codsall or Featherstone.

We are in South Staffordshire, geographically adjacent to the Wolverhampton/Dudley conurbations, and travel is minimised by agreeing the location with the successful candidate.

We have a well‑established ARRS team, clinical and non‑clinical, working in an MDT approach. You will be part of that team but there is no expectation to offer supervision.

What we offer

• A permanent BMA salaried contract.
• Opportunity to develop a specialist interest.
• A supportive team and GP mentor.
• 15‑minute appointments.
• No visits.
