Summary

JOB SUMMARY: The Salaried General Practitioner will provide high-quality, safe and compassionate medical care to patients at Compass House Medical Centres, working collaboratively as part of our multidisciplinary team and contributing to the effective delivery and ongoing development of our services. At Compass House, we see every member of the team as contributing at three levels: Individual contribution delivering their own role to a consistently high standard and taking responsibility for their professional practice. Team contribution contributing positively to the effectiveness, culture and functioning of their immediate and wider multidisciplinary team. Practice contribution contributing their experience, ideas and expertise to the wider life, improvement and development of Compass House. For our GPs, this means providing excellent individual clinical care, working collaboratively and supporting colleagues across the multidisciplinary team, and contributing positively to the ongoing improvement of how we work. The post holder will work in accordance with Good Medical Practice, relevant contractual and regulatory requirements, Compass House policies and procedures, and our values of Caring, Teamwork, Collaboration, Excellence, Listening and Innovation. MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES 1. Clinical Care & Patient Experience Provide high-quality, evidence-based and person-centred general medical services to the practice population. Assess, diagnose, investigate, treat and appropriately refer patients presenting with acute, chronic and complex health needs. Provide care through face-to-face, telephone and digital consultations according to clinical need and practice systems. Prescribe safely and appropriately in accordance with current guidance and local formulary arrangements. Promote preventative healthcare, health improvement and shared decision-making. Recognise and respond appropriately to safeguarding concerns and patients at risk. Undertake home visits where clinically appropriate and required. The majority of routine home visiting is currently supported by the ANP team. Maintain clear, accurate and contemporaneous clinical records. 2. Clinical Administration & Continuity of Care Hold a patient list on a pro-rata basis as part of the GP team and contribute to continuity of care for those patients.

Contribute fairly to the management of clinical workload and administration during periods of colleague absence. Complete appropriate reports, forms and other clinical documentation allocated on a fair-share basis. Manage workload effectively and raise concerns where clinical demand or workload presents a potential risk to safe patient care. 3. Teamwork & Contribution to the Wider Practice Work collaboratively with GP colleagues, ANPs, the Nursing Team, Clinical Pharmacy Team, Care Co-ordination Team and other members of the multidisciplinary team.
