The role will include managing a varied clinical workload and providing care for patients with acute, urgent and ongoing health needs. You will undertake face-to-face, telephone and other appropriate consultations, assessing, diagnosing and managing patients across the full range of general practice.

An important part of the role will be supporting same-day care. This will include seeing patients with acute problems and acting as the clinical triaging GP for Anima Total Triage during allocated sessions. You will review patient requests, assess clinical need and urgency, and ensure patients are directed to the most appropriate clinician or service.

Alongside acute care, there will be opportunities to support patients with long-term conditions and complex health needs through our New Models of Care work. This focuses on patients who are frail, living with complex or multiple conditions, approaching the end of life or making frequent use of secondary care.

You will work closely with GPs, nurses, pharmacists, paramedics, healthcare assistants and other professionals to provide coordinated, proactive and patient-centred care.

We welcome applications from newly qualified and experienced GPs.
