The Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) is on the frontline of the NHS, dispatching immediate medical assistance or clinical advice to over 5 million people across Scotland, aiming to offer the highest level of care and promote recovery with a skilled workforce.
This is an exciting opportunity to join our existing team of GP Advisors who work within the Integrated Clinical Hub. The Hub has become well established over the last four years and comprises a multidisciplinary team of clinical advisors, advanced practitioners and GPs, providing assessments for patients initially triaged as non‑immediate life‑threatening and who may benefit from further virtual consultation to deliver the right care at the right time.
We are seeking GPs who are currently licensed to practice, on the Scottish Performers List, and have provided GMP services in Scotland within the last six months. These doctors will nurture and develop sound and innovative choices as part of our front‑line organisation.
Responsibilities include telephone triage and video consultations with patients, professional‑to‑professional advice to staff on the ground, and determining outcomes ranging from self‑care (including remote prescription) to conveyance to emergency department, or exploring alternatives to admission for appropriate patients.
Shift pattern: a range of shifts are offered from two Ambulance Control Centres, with remote home working possible once confidence is reached. Shifts include daytime and evening periods throughout the week and weekends. A services agreement is in place to reflect sessional (ad‑hoc) work; pay will be discussed with interested parties.
Legal work eligibility: To work in the United Kingdom, a person must demonstrate the relevant permission to work in the country. This is granted by the UK Visa and Immigration Service. As part of pre‑employment checks, NHS Scotland Boards will verify UK work entitlement. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK without requiring sponsorship to work with us.
Equality and diversity: NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative, and to allow each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
