Our GPs enjoy a well-balanced work life, with 7 weeks of combined annual and study leave each year. We also support manageable workloads, with face-to-face sessions capped at just 10 x 15-minute appointments plus 4 follow up telephone calls to ensure continuity and quality patient care.

Our GPs are supported by a highly skilled and well-rounded team that includes specialists in frailty, experienced clinical pharmacists, dedicated results nurses, a mental health nurse, social prescribers, and a strong administrative support team. This collaborative approach significantly reduces GP workload, allowing our doctors to focus on providing excellent patient care.

SALARIED GP JOB PLAN

Clinical Duties

Clinical duties involve seeing patients either face-to-face or managing them through Telephone Consultations.

There are different types of sessions which include

1. Face-to-face clinic

2. Visiting doctor

3. Duty doctor

4. Navigation doctor

5. Non-GMS doctor

6. Enhanced Access doctor

10 appointments of 15 minutes duration with catch-up slots after every 3 appointments.

4 Follow-up telephone calls which are blocked; this is for you to call back any patients you need to follow-up. Occasionally if you have seen a patient and ordered a blood test, if you had not booked follow-up and another clinician has seen the test result and feels they need to follow-up with you as you had originally seen them, then the call will be booked into this slot.

New work should not find its way into this slot and you will be asked to pass this back to Reception if this happens.

2 sick note slots.

The red emergency blocked slots are protected for Reception or duty team to use. If you need to bring back a patient urgently, please discuss with Duty or Navigation doctor on the day.

Please feel free to book any follow-ups into the purple routine slots but be mindful that we are setting routine appointments at 5-6 weeks; we ask that clinicians also get patients to wait 5-6 weeks if the problem that you are bringing them back for is non-urgent.

Start times at 09:30 is possible for doctors who have a school run to do but there will be fewer catch-ups.

You could be doing these sessions at either Aspen Centre, Saintbridge Surgery or Tuffley Surgery. Tuffley Surgery is only open on Tuesdays and Thursdays with only routine appointments.

Duty and Navigation doctor sessions

Duty Doctor, Navigation Doctor and Visiting Doctor all sit together in the Duty Hub.

The job involves, triaging all home visit requests, supporting Reception with navigating patients to the most appropriate clinician, signing off prescriptions, supporting Allied Health Professionals and Trainees with clinical queries, speaking to Paramedics/District Nurses etc.

There are no booked patients to see when doing Duty or Navigation doctor duties.

Sitting together makes the day much more enjoyable allowing exchange of information and discussion.

Visiting patients only and all visits are triaged by the Duty Doctor.

2 sick note slots.

4 Follow-up telephone calls which are blocked; this is for you to call back any patients you need to follow-up. Occasionally if you have seen a patient and ordered a blood test, if you had not booked follow-up and another clinician has seen the test result and feels they need to follow-up with you as you had originally seen them, then the call will be booked into this slot.

New work should not find its way into this slot and you will be asked to pass this back to Reception if this happens.

If you have no visits, we hope you will help Duty and Navigation doctor sign off the electronic prescriptions or you may wish to triage your own visits when you are not out on the road.
