Main duties of the job
A Typical Day
- 15 appointments in the morning session, 13 appointments in the afternoon session (10 minute appts).
- We have an allocated 'triage GP' each day, and two paramedics who do the majority of the home visits. This means when you are doing normal sessions, any additional visits are built into the morning, rather than being 'extras'.
- Triage doctor each day required to stay until 6:30pm. Any GPs working a normal day leave when the work is finished, which can be earlier.
- A 'fair share' of daily paperwork (lab reports, prescriptions, clinical letters etc.)
- We are a very busy practice, but we try our best to avoid extras where possible.
