About this role
Job summary
ProcareHaslemere Community Hospital
We are looking for experienced and enthusiastic GPs to join the Haslemere Proactive Care Hub, working as part of a multidisciplinary team supporting people living with frailty, multiple long-term conditions and complex care needs.
The Hub brings together primary care, community services and specialist expertise to provide more proactive, coordinated care closer to home.
Our aim is simple: to identify people who would benefit from additional support earlier, bring the right professionals around them and help prevent deterioration and avoidable hospital admission.
Main duties of the job
GP with Extended Role Proactive Long Term Conditions Hub4-6 sessions per week
We are also looking for GPs who have a particular interest in frailty, complex multimorbidity, long-term conditions and proactive community care.
This is predominantly a clinical role, working directly with patients and alongside the wider Hub multidisciplinary team.
You will undertake comprehensive assessment of people with frailty and complex needs, including Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA); provide GP clinical review and sense-checking of specialist recommendations; support medication optimisation; develop personalised care and anticipatory care plans; and work alongside specialist clinicians, pharmacists, therapists, community nursing, social care, mental health and other members of the MDT.
A particularly important part of the role will be bringing the generalist GP perspective to complex care looking beyond individual conditions and ensuring that recommendations are practical, coordinated and appropriate for the person as a whole.
You do not need to be a specialist geriatrician. We are looking for experienced GPs with an interest in developing this area of practice and enthusiasm for working differently across traditional organisational boundaries
