Role Overview
The Locum GP will provide general medical services to the practice's patient list, covering routine surgeries, telephone triage, home visits (where applicable), and same-day/urgent appointments as required. This role suits a GP seeking flexible, well-supported locum work with minimal administrative burden outside of clinical duties.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide general practice consultations across booked surgeries, including acute presentations, chronic disease management, and routine appointments.
- Undertake telephone triage and same-day/urgent care appointments as part of the practice's booking system.
- Conduct home visits where clinically required and agreed as part of the locum arrangement.
- Prescribe medications in line with the practice formulary and national prescribing guidelines.
- Order and interpret diagnostic tests, referring on to secondary care or allied specialists as appropriate.
- Maintain accurate, timely clinical records using the practice's clinical system (e.g. EMIS Web, SystmOne, or Vision).
- Ensure continuity of care by liaising with practice GPs and administrative staff regarding follow-up and handover.
- Work within the practice's clinical governance, safeguarding, and infection control protocols.
- Maintain professional indemnity and CPD/appraisal requirements throughout the locum engagement.
