Description
Job summary
We have immediate opportunities for GPs to join our Out of Hours (OOH) team
Working as a salaried or self-employed GP with FedBucks offers competitive pay, flexibility, a good work life balance, training and career development opportunities, and round-the-clock clinical and operational support.
Our multidisciplinary OOH team provides primary care services across Buckinghamshire for patients who require medical attention when their own GP surgery is closed.
We welcome applications from experienced GPs who are considering a career move or are seeking additional hours alongside another role.
GP weekday cover from 18:30 to 08:00, as well as 24-hour service at weekends and on bank holidays, delivered via telephone consultations, face-to-face appointments and home visits. In addition, we provide in-hours telephone support for our member practices Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 18:30.
The overnight GP will cover the period from midnight to 08:00 alongside another GP. The two clinicians will be based in different parts of the county at Wycombe Hospital and Stoke Mandeville Hospital and will work jointly within the central advice pool to triage patients. Any base appointments or home visits required will be undertaken by the clinician located at the Primary Care Centre (PCC) closest to the patients address. Overnight GPs will be working alone; however, they will have a driver with them.
