Midland Medical Partnership jobs

We are currently recruiting for a SGP to work at Eaton Wood Medical Centre - 8 sessions per week.

Midlands Medical Partnership is a Birmingham super-partnership currently caring for 72,000 Birmingham Cross-City CCG patients across North and South Birmingham operating out of 10 sites. The partnership was established in April 2009 and continues to grow as a single integrated primary care provider, alongside collaborative working with other similar organisations in our region as part of its strategic forward view.

The vision behind the creation of MMP is to improve and develop all that is excellent about traditional GP services – local GPs leading and working in local surgeries to provide long-term doctor/patient relationships based on the established values of trust and personalised care, whilst at the same time being part of a larger, more corporate business structure, allowing our practices and patients to benefit from the resources of a larger organisation, enabling us to improve the range and quality of patient services, improve access and patient responsiveness and improve learning across our organisation.

MMP’s core purpose is “to work within a culture of quality to constantly improve the care and service we give our patients.”

This dynamic partnership with a team of over 200 clinicians and staff is managed by a single executive board, with centralised organisational functions, strong leadership and clinical governance structures. The ambition and vision of the partnership is to provide large scale, integrated, multi-speciality care for its patients. Most of our sites are training practices and training in areas of special interest is greatly supported.

Job responsibilities

A session for a SGP is 4 hours and 10 minutes in duration and will include the following components:

Approximately 3.5 hours of patient contact per session which may include face to face appointments, home visits and telephone appointments. All surgeries operate a 10 minute appointment system for face to face routine consultations and 5 minute appointments for telephone contact and urgent appointments.

40 minutes per session is dedicated to administration to include correspondence, blood results, repeat prescriptions, reports and QoF, in accordance with the needs of the patients. This list is not intended to be exhaustive but is representative of usual administration.

SGPs in MMP are expected to be on call on a local surgery rota basis. When undertaking on call duties, the surgery management team will make adjustments to the usual duties on that day accordingly. The same will apply when undertaking telephone triage during sessions.

Surgery start and finish times are to be locally agreed with SGPs and surgery management.

This job plan may require a review in accordance with changes to the needs of the organisation or its patients from time-to-time.
