Job Description

We are looking for one enthusiastic, highly motivated

6/8 session

Salaried GP to join our patient focused and friendly practice team. We are a very supportive team committed to providing high quality patient care with a strong ethos on team working and integrated care.

We are total triage Practice.

Total triage means that every patient contacting the practice is first triaged before making an appointment by a GP. The purpose of total triage is to get patient needs met by the most appropriate person or service. The total triage model aims to help practices meet patient demand within their existing capacity by using the skill-mix of the wider team, utilising online services, telephone and video consultations as well as face-to-face consultations when needed. It explicitly acknowledges that a large proportion of the need that presents to general practice does not need a general practitioner to deal with it, and in fact is likely to be better managed by another person, service or by the patient themselves if they have access to the right information. The three critical steps in a triage model of general practice are: asking patients what they need, signposting by administrative teams and clinical triage. There are two main routes into triage systems:Online consultations/eConsult or telephone. It offers a way of managing patient demand and improving efficiency. It mainly focuses on reactive care to expressed patient need, rather than proactive care such as immunisation or antenatal care.
Our experienced GPs will support and mentor you. We have an open, learning environment with regular staff meetings, audits and SEA meetings.
