We are looking for highly motivated GPs with a passion for clinical care, team-working, excellent inter-personal skills, and an interest in multidisciplinary work in our community. The role currently provides out of hours care to the population of 1000 on the island of Yell, including cover for the smaller, neighbouring island of Fetlar. The posts have study leave allocation to allow you to acquire and maintain skills to support your practice and your interests. Teaching, research and development of other areas of your portfolio work would be supported and encouraged.
The GP services in Yell are provided via several clinicians who work within a rotational contract; this post is for 12 weeks across the year, in blocks of 2 or 3 weeks.
Systems to support you include EMIS PCS and DOCMAN and a car is provided for the use of the GP. The team in the health centre is friendly, welcoming and supportive; they meet as a practice for coffee and biscuits (and occasional homebakes) at 11am and all staff are encouraged to join. Support staff include a full time practice manager, reception staff; clinical colleagues include District (Community) nurses, Practice nursing, and Health care support worker. There are twice weekly clinical huddles with the nursing team.
There is a weekly touchpoint meeting with other GPs from the smaller island practices, and a shared messaging group for advice and support. We are developing an islands clinical meeting for Shetland for peer support and to share clinical learning. The practice provides their own Out of Hours cover and pre-hospital emergency care training (BASICS) would be provided for successful candidates.
