Job Description

As a general practitioner (GP), you'll provide continuing medical care for patients in the community. You're usually a patient's first point of contact, seeing them in the surgery, at their home or within other settings such as care homes.
When diagnosing illness and recommending treatment, you'll have to consider physical, emotional and social factors to provide a holistic approach.
Part of your role will be to refer patients to hospital clinics or other healthcare professionals for further assessment or treatment. You may also run specialist clinics for patients with specific conditions, such as asthma.
You'll work as part of a wider team to discuss care options for patients and their families, helping patients to take responsibility for their own health.
All GPs need to carry out admin work.
Main duties of the job
As a GP, you'll typically need to:

• respond to patients' medical or health problems by referring to their history and carrying out diagnosis, investigation, treatment, and referral as appropriate
• maintain confidentiality and impartiality
• liaise with medical professionals in the community and hospitals
• promote health education in conjunction with other health professionals
• organise preventative medical programmes for individual patients
• provide specialist clinics for specific conditions or for certain groups, such as diabetes, smoking cessation and new babies
• meet targets set by the government for specific treatments, such as child immunisations
• discuss the development of new pharmaceutical products with pharmaceutical sales representatives
• carry out a range of administrative work, including signing repeat prescriptions, death certificates and fitness for work statements, as well as preparing letters and reports
• attend staff meetings
• keep up to date with medical developments, new drugs, treatments and medications, including complementary medicine
• observe and assess the work of trainee GPs and medical students and in some cases, teach at medical schools or hospitals.
