PCN General Practitioner

Place of work: Islington Central 1, Central 2 or South PCNs

Reports to: Operational Lead of PCN

Accountable to: Clinical Director of PCN

At its core, you will work as a member of the in-house clinical teams and provide a critical role of delivering appointments and care to the registered list of patients. Although you may not hold a named doctor list, you will manage the patients with a list-holding mentality, offering continuity and case management where needed and appropriate. You will play a key role within this, helping to ensure patients get the right care they need from the right person at the right time. You will manage admin such as blood results and be part of a team to collectively manage shared admin alongside other GPs and other staff members. Responsibilities will reflect requirements of the NHS GP Contracts, and as such may be subject to change as services adapt. This post offers the opportunity for role and career development, especially with regards to training and supervision of the wider MDT as the team and service evolves. The role may also involve complex care depending on your interests and skills.

An exciting opportunity to work within an evolving innovative and forward-facing clinical model for general practice. Roles for dynamic GPs who want to be a part of this movement are available at PCNs, with roles across GP practice sites. Applications are welcome from newly qualified GPs at all experience levels. We are particularly interested in hearing from those with less than two years of experience, who hold GP training qualifications and have a passion for contributing to project work. This could involve participating in initiatives aimed at improving patient care, streamlining practice operations, or developing innovative approaches to healthcare delivery.

The PCNs serves a population of between 40,000 and 76,000 patients in the Central and South Localities in Islington and is support by Islington GP Federation. The PCNs group together independent GP practices, brought together by the Network Contract Direct Enhanced Service (DES). PCNs focus on improving patient care by working with partner providers to manage the needs of their local patient population.

Islington GP Federation (IGPF) is a growing organisation representing 31 practices; we have established ourselves as a leader in new ways of working, including running Islingtons extended access primary care services (I:HUB) as well as supporting the Islington Primary Care Networks (PCNs).

Our current range of services include the Extended Access Service, I:HUB, Community Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT), Integrated Community Gynaecology, practice-based pharmacists and a range of practice support mechanisms.

IGPF is the host organisation for the Primary Care Network (PCN) workforce and the Islington Training Hub and has been working for over two years to create training and development programmes that meet the needs of staff working in primary and community care settings.

IGPF runs four Islington GP practices, one on a GMS contract, two on APMS contracts and one caretaking contracts
