Job Overview
As a SevernSide Overnight GP you will manage a wide range of clinical presentations in urgent care settings, support patients via telephone, video, or face‑to‑face consultations, prescribe effectively (including end‑of‑life adjustments), maintain thorough documentation for continuity of care, mentor new clinicians, and contribute to peak‑demand rotas.
The IUC service offers clinicians a choice of diverse shift types to match their skills and interests.
- Face‑to‑face appointments at one of our Treatment Centres
- Mobile home‑visiting service
Responsibilities
- Assess and manage the full breadth of clinical presentations and age groups in the urgent primary care setting, including physical and mental health needs.
- Take telephone referrals from health care professionals within the BNSSG area for appropriate adult medical admissions, being sensitive to the capacity issues of hosting acute trusts.
- Demonstrate excellent communication skills with referring HCPs, building positive relationships so that alternative management ideas can be discussed without confrontation.
- Gain familiarity with other urgent care services available in the BNSSG system and how to access them for patients.
- Undertake clinical work by telephone or video, consulting with patients, representatives and community health professionals to assess the current concerns, establish a differential diagnosis and management plan.
- Support community management wherever possible, but be able to recognize serious illness and emergency situations requiring admission and/or ambulance response.
- Prescribe appropriately for the urgent primary care context, including initiating and changing end‑of‑life medications.
- Document key findings so that notes provide appropriate detail to log the assessment and support other clinicians involved later in the patient’s journey.
- Seek clinical advice from the senior GP on shift (the Clinical Coordinator where applicable) when required to support decision making and access to appropriate services.
- Buddy new clinicians working their first shift in the Severnside service to support them in familiarizing with systems and processes after induction.
- Use all IT systems required for safe clinical work in IUC (CLEO, PACS, EMIS, Clinical Toolkit, BrisDoc weblinks, Remedy).
- Identify and report concerns and incidents proactively to support continual learning and improvement.
- Contribute to the organisation’s sustainability efforts by adhering to eco‑friendly practices (reducing paper use, recycling, supporting greener workplace initiatives).
