About The Role

Are you looking for some flexible additional sessions? With our multidisciplinary team in our Out Of Hours service (in various locations in Surrey and Guildford ), you're back in control.

By bringing together urgent care, clinical assessment and primary care services and NHS 111 call centres, clinical assessment and other urgent care services.

This is the perfect chance to use and develop all your skills and expertise as a General Practitioner, providing diagnosis, treatment, advice and referrals to other healthcare resources, via primary care centres and home visits. You will also use our electronic prescribing system to effectively manage the patient.

We are proud of our strong, stable infrastructure that ensures clinical safety and provides senior-level clinical support throughout evenings, nights and weekends. You'll be able to keep your skills up to date with a CPD programme - and can expect education and training tailored to your needs and future plans.

• To promote close teamwork between colleagues and to continually strive to improve the service.
• To be available for meetings and appraisals from time to time as required.
• To regularly update personal clinical skills and knowledge.
• To work within the prescribing formulary taking account of the minimum recommended length of prescribed treatment.
