Position Overview & Specifications
An opportunity has arisen for salaried GPs to join our team to work within the Urgent and Emergency Care Centre in Rotherham. We are looking for General Practitioners with commitment, flexibility, enthusiasm, excellent clinical skills, and who are team players.
The trust has vacancies for GPs to work in the Primary Care element of the modern Urgent and Emergency Care Centre. This is a state-of-the-art urgent care facility combining traditional A&E services with Primary Care, including the GP Out of Hours service. Our setting is the first site to go live with a fully integrated NHS pathways streaming and redirection product, work continues in its implementation.
The UECC operates in an innovative and exciting way, using GPs and Advanced Clinical Practitioners to provide primary care consultations, including the provision of a Primary Care Streaming service as patients arrive, ensuring patients are seen by the most appropriate service or clinician. Where possible this includes patients being managed at the first point and provided with self-care advice, or redirection to a more appropriate service.
The model allows for the rapid and flexible management of workload and uses the expertise and skills of GPs to enhance the operational capacity of the UECC. In doing so, it recognises the unique and valuable skill set that GPs can bring to the Urgent Care setting.
