General Practitioner - Ashgrove Medical Group
This is a fixed‑term role as a maternity cover locum. We are looking to cover 8 sessions, but will accept applications for fewer.
Our standard GP clinical session is 18 appointments with a mix of book‑on‑the‑day telephone slots, pre‑bookable slots (patient choice of telephone or face‑to‑face), and eConsults. Each session has several slots blocked for use only by the GP if a telephone consultation needs to be converted to face‑to‑face.
We have one GP each day as Duty. They start the day with an empty template, which is populated with acute problems to telephone triage once all other on‑the‑day slots are full. The duty GP is usually supported by a Duty Nurse or Physician Associate, who manages acute minor illness. The duty role is allocated pro rata to the number of sessions worked and would therefore usually be less than once per week.
Prescription queries and acute requests are all managed by our pharmacy team.
Salary is negotiable depending on experience.
Days and sessions flexible upon discussion.
