Review of Plan
This Job Plan will be subject to annual review, or when there are any significant changes to the work pattern suggested by either party.
Scheduling in the Job Plan:
- Clinical duties: You are contracted to provide 4 - 6 sessions each week (nominally 4 hrs 10 minutes each) which will be on days to be confirmed normally between the hours of 8.00 and 18.30 hours, but these days and times may be varied. With the introduction of Extended Hours and Improving Access appointments provided by PCNs there may be a requirement to work some evenings and Saturdays but this will be in agreement with the postholder. A standard clinic currently comprises of 11 x 15 minute appointments which are a mixture of face to face and telephone consultations and 3 x 10 minute follow up appointments for you to book with patients who you feel need to be followed up.
- On-Call/Duty. In rotation there will be a requirement to be the On-Call/Duty doctor. which alters the duties accordingly.
- Appointments in a clinic are booked at 16 x 10 minute urgent appointments a session all of which will have been triaged beforehand by a clinician Admin time is also allocated as part of the On call template.
- Visits will normally be carried out by the Triage Hub GP but there may be an occasion where you are required to carry out some home visiting.
- You will be expected to deal on a daily basis with telephone and admin queries from other health care professionals in your administrative time.
- The practice believes that it has allowed sufficient time in the job plan to complete all administrative duties related to your clinical work.
- Referrals should be completed on a daily basis in conjunction with the secretaries.
- Investigations and referrals should be completed and associated documentation dealt with within appropriate timescales.
- Results are normally communicated electronically, you will be expected to action these on a daily basis for your own patients. You will also take a share in dealing with Docman and daily correspondence addressed to you and to take a share of the workload for absent doctors.
- Reports: You will be expected to complete reports for the benefits agency and those expected under the GMS contract on patients known to you. You will also be asked to complete insurance company and other such private medical reports for those patients with whom you are directly involved.
Practice Meeting and Personal Development
The practice is committed to high standards of medicine and supporting colleagues in achieving this. You will be expected to participate using your Personal Development Time, in discussions on clinical practice standards, developing practice protocols, mutual professional support for the individual practitioners, audit, significant event analysis, meetings with colleagues in the Locality, CCG and NHSE etc. Where these occur on an ad hoc basis, adjustments to clinical workload may be required.
The level of remuneration recognises and rewards the need for personal development time, outside of normal clinical duties described in this job plan, in keeping with the suggestion of 4 hours and 10 minutes per week for a full-time salaried GP. However, clinical governance meetings which occur monthly and meet some of this need take the place of normal clinical duties except when you are On-Call/Duty GP in rotation.
You may be involved in teaching and support for clinical staff, students, registrars, other junior doctors or pharmacists in the practice when this has been approved by the Partners, but time will be set aside from surgery for the purpose.
