General Practitioner (GP) | West London NHS Trust

We are excited to offer an innovative opportunity to enhance primary care delivery to care homes in the borough of Ealing. As a Care Home GP, you will value having dedicated time in your allocated care homes to build relationships with residents and staff and provide consistent, high-quality care. This is far more enjoyable than the pressures of ad-hoc care home visits which you may have experienced in other roles! Trust us on this, we have experienced that too. As a valued member of our multidisciplinary team, you will receive robust support from fellow GPs and an experienced group of nurses, including advanced nurse practitioners, prescribing pharmacists, and administrators. What We Offer:

• Collaborative Environment: As part of Ealing Community Partners (ECP), you will collaborate with other ECP community teams such as rapid response, diabetic services, and mental health teams, ensuring quality care for our patients.
• Work-Life Balance: We encourage flexible scheduling options to ensure you have time for both your professional and personal life.
• Opportunities for Development: We encourage your ideas for quality improvement of our service, and as an employee of West London NHS Trust, you will have access to numerous training and development opportunities plus pathways for career progression-something that is not always available in independent or private practices.
Key Features of the Role:
• Service Operation: Our GP service operates 7 days a week and our local out-of-hours provider currently covers after 6 PM and on weekends. Weekend working opportunities can be discussed if you are interested.
• Patient Population:We provide enhanced primary care to over 1100 patients living in nursing and residential homes in Ealing.
• Rewarding Work: Engage in meaningful work with opportunities to develop your expertise in frailty, dementia, multi-morbidity, and polypharmacy through direct patient care and via our weekly MDT meetings attended by secondary care and community colleagues such as Marie Curie nurses.
• Patient-Centred Care:Work with care home residents and their dedicated care home staff who will support with care management plans and ongoing monitoring.
