Job responsibilities

Educational Lead GP

Clinical sessions

The Educational Lead GP role is a hybrid of Lead GP clinical sessions with protected time to oversee the management and development of the Training Hub.

Lead GPs take a key role in being a visible lead to the clinical team to enable the provision of high quality and patient-centred clinical care within the surgeries. The appointment template varies at the different surgeries, but all GPs are expected to provide care for urgent and routine consultations through a mix of face to face consultations, telephone consultations, visits and sharing in the work of the duty team. Clinical sessions should take place at the surgery unless there are exceptional circumstances. Lead GPs will be responsible for a fair share distribution of admin (be this related to their list or where it is distributed equally amongst those present) and will carry a patient list size pro rata for the number of sessions they are working.

Clinical leadership/quality improvement session

Lead GPs provide senior clinical leadership to their practice team in addition to the provision of clinical sessions. We recognise that developing expertise in clinical and non-clinical areas brings benefit to patients, the practices and NCPC as well as providing job satisfaction.

The Educational Lead GP will play a central role in delivering high-quality patient care whilst helping to train and inspire the next generation of General Practitioners as part of their leadership speciality.

We will work with you to identify realistic goals for the Training Hub, identify the resources needed and provide the support required to implement them.

Whatever the area our Lead GPs lead in, the emphasis will be on improving patient care and contributing to the development of efficient and effective teams, including our established clinical and student teams.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for someone who shares our vision to provide excellent standards of clinical care and leadership in a way which is compassionate, empowering and effective. You will be passionate about bringing out the best in your team and enabling team members to flourish. Delivering high quality holistic patient care will be your priority.
