We will consider between 3-4 sessions per week. These would ideally be Wednesday and Thursday, but this can be discussed further.

The Practice has a triage doctor available each day and the post holder will be required to undertake these duties on a rota basis. Primary triage is supported by a secondary support GP during most sessions.
Admin:
Salaried GP's are expected to have their own patient list (proportional based on sessions). In order to ensure safe coverage, we do operate a GP admin cover system for absences/regular days off, which is split proportionally between the team.
This post will involve an incremental list size, which will start at 125 patients per session and increase to full parity if this role continues beyond 12 months.

The post holder is expected to support the Partners of Moatfield Surgery in providing all services outlined in the GMS Core Contract and also in the aims and objectives of the Practice.
The post holder is expected to support and input into the aims of the practice in areas of clinical governance, good practice, quality outcomes framework, enhanced services, practice audit, referral review and any other improvement plans as determined by the practice. Your performance in each area will be monitored and referrals may be re-routed if appropriate.
The post holder is expected to maintain and keep good standards of computerised clinical records at all times including any associated paperwork. Full involvement in any practice training and ongoing requirements of our status as a paperless practice is expected.
