Main duties of the job

The postholder will provide high-quality general medical services to our patient population as part of our established clinical team.

The role includes routine and urgent patient care, participation in our total triage system, appropriate follow-up and continuity of care, clinical administration and occasional routine or palliative care home visits where required.

Patient contacts are capped in line with BMA safe working guidance at around 25 per day, with protected administration time built into each session. Triage is shared between four doctors each day, with each providing approximately half a session.

The GP will participate in weekly clinical meetings and work collaboratively with our wider multidisciplinary team. We are a training practice and welcome GPs who wish to develop specialist interests.

About us

Deddington Health Centre is a friendly, established GP practice serving around 12,500 patients in Deddington and the surrounding rural Oxfordshire villages.

We are a dispensing and training practice, rated Good by CQC, and use EMIS with a total triage model. Our population is older than average and includes three care homes, so continuity and long-term relationships with our patients are particularly important to us.

Our multidisciplinary team includes GPs, an Advanced Care Practitioner, pharmacists, physiotherapy and social prescribing support. We have a local visiting service which means GP home visits are relatively few.

We place a high value on staff health and wellbeing and aim to provide a supportive working environment. Daily morning coffee, weekly clinical meetings, structured induction, protected administration time and support for professional development are all part of working at Deddington.
