Are you a general practitioner looking to provide primary care services within two of our community hospitals? We are looking for a part time general practitioner to be based across 2 of our community hospitals in Shaftesbury and Sherborne.
Both hospitals run rehabilitation wards caring for patients of all ages who have typically stepped down from acute hospitals following illness, injury, surgery, or deconditioning. Most patients are then discharged either home or to a nursing or residential care setting, depending on their functional recovery and support needs.
A significant proportion of the role involves end of life care, symptom control and advance care planning, ensuring that patients and families receive compassionate, personalised support.
As a general practitioner you will complement the existing multidisciplinary team, which includes GPs, associate specialists, and ANPs, by contributing to the day‑to‑day medical management of patients with a broad range of common and ongoing medical conditions.
Responsibilities
* Provide medical care for the patients on the wards in collaboration with the Responsible Clinician/Multi‑Professional Advanced Clinician, Advanced Practitioner and the ward nursing team.
* Support the supervision of the clinical work of the Advanced Practitioner and develop a mutually supportive clinical relationship with the Advanced Practitioner in managing the patient's clinical need.
* Collaborate with the multi‑disciplinary team in the planning and provision of care, investigations, treatment, and discharge for patients, and work in liaison with the responsible clinician.
* Provide timely clinical review of patients, participate in ward rounds, and keep up‑to‑date and accurate clinical records.
* Implement appropriate treatment plans for patients and assess treatment escalation plans and resuscitation status where appropriate.
* Carry out the daily tasks as identified in the Medical Diary and in liaison with the nurse in charge of the ward.
* Participate in the medical rota and may require working across both Shaftesbury and Sherborne sites to support continuity and safe staffing across the service.
