Do you enjoy the challenge of clinical triage, managing urgent presentations, making decisions and helping patients access the right care at the right time? Would you enjoy a role where your clinical expertise is used primarily in assessing, prioritising and managing patients with a wide range of clinical needs, rather than spending most of your working week in traditional GP clinics? If so, we may have just the role for you! Amersham Vale Practice is looking for an enthusiastic, confident and compassionate GP to join our clinical team in a predominantly clinical triage and urgent care role . What makes this role different? Unlike a traditional salaried GP position, the majority of your sessions will be spent working on our clinical duty desk, reviewing incoming patient requests, assessing clinical urgency and determining the most appropriate course of action. But you won't be doing this alone! Our duty desk is a genuinely collaborative environment, with 23 clinicians working together during every session.

Working closely with fellow duty clinicians, sharing decisions and discussing challenging cases. Supporting the effective and safe use of our clinical resources while ensuring patients receive timely, compassionate care. And because we believe variety matters , you will also have one or two routine clinicalsessions, allowing you to maintain continuity of care, manage more complex or ongoing healthneeds and enjoy the traditional aspects of general practice.
