Salaried GP Nights IUCS (Out of Hours)

Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust

Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust (GHC) and Integrated Care-24 (IC24) are looking for Night Salaried GP's to join their Integrated Urgent Care Service (out of hours) which we have recently taken over.

IC24 and GHC are two different companies. IC24 is a not-for-profit organisation that provides responsive, safe, high-quality urgent healthcare to over six million patients in the UK. GHC provides joined-up mental health, physical health, and learning disability services to people of all ages across Gloucestershire. This is in our hospitals, community building, and primarily in people's own homes.

The Integrated Care Service covering Clinical Assessment service, Home visits, and Out of Hours are looking for NIGHT SALARIED GP's to join our team. There will be a mixture of night Senior Lead CAS hours available (eligibility to be discussed at interview as involves triage and oversight of the shift) and Gloucester Hospital face-to-face nights, both shift times being midnight until 8am.

Please note that enhancements are offered for out of hours working and any CAS Senior Lead hours attract 3% if salaried before the enhancements are then added. For any bank hours, you will see the different rates attached for the two types of roles.

Main duties of the job

As a GP working within the IUCS, they will use their clinical expertise and professional knowledge to assess and manage patients in face-to-face settings, working as part of a multi-disciplinary team to deliver a high-quality and patient-centered service when in hours General Practice is closed. Examples of duties include:

• Aim to provide timely high-quality clinical care and assessments during base visits and home visits.
• Support telephone triage in the Clinical Assessment Service between patients requiring face-to-face care.
• Manage acute and chronic presentations across adult and paediatric patients, within the OOHs.
• Deliver personalised, evidence-informed medical care to all patients in contact with OOHs.
