Sessional (Bank) General Practitioner, Out of Hours (OOH) Service: Sponsorship Available

Job summary

Oxfordshire’s GP OOH service provides urgent medical advice and assessment to all patients living in the local area when normal primary care is closed.

The service is provided by a multi-disciplinary team that includes GPs, Nurse and Paramedic practitioners, administrative and operational colleagues, all working together to provide clinical care from up to 6 bases, over the telephone or during a home visit.

Main duties of the job
