Summary
Clinical Responsibilities: - East Park Medical Centre will be operating a Tier-Based Delivery of Care, with their patients being segmented into 3 Tiers 1, 2 and 3. GPs will be expected to help deliver care to each of these tiers on a rota basis. - Tier 1 represents those patients with the lowest physiological risk factors for illness and no other significant or combinations of chronic health problems. The GP will be part of a multidisciplinary team compromised of GPs, Nurse Practitioners, Advanced Care Practitioners and Mental Health nurse. They will have their own appointment schedule which allows time to support the wider MDT team with the more complex problems and queries, reviewing these patients, as necessary. The overall clinical responsibility for the MDT will rest with the Clinical lead and GPs must escalate any concerns regarding the team and patient care to the lead in a timely fashion. - Tier 2 represents patients who have one or more significant chronic health problem or are at a time in their life of increased physiological risk for example, pregnancy or older age. This is the group of patients where continuity of care can have the greatest impact on patient outcomes and the practice will be striving to achieve this. The GP here will work alongside the nursing team delivering chronic health management, with their own appointment schedule but also supporting the nursing team where appropriate. The GP will be involved in liaising with PCN health professionals, community and secondary health regarding patient care. - Tier 3 represents the most complex patients, these patients maybe palliative, represent safeguarding risks or be going through a time of crisis which is impacting on their health. Care home patients will be included in this Tier and the GP will be expected to support the MDT teams and meetings to plan these patients care. These patients are likely to require the GP at times to perform home visits where remote consults are not appropriate. - Administrative duties such as issuing of prescriptions, checking pathology results, tasks and incoming letters/documents for the practice will be performed in dedicated working time in the appointment schedule or a dedicated session as part of the rota. - The GP with appropriate training may also be asked to participate and hold Group Consultations. - The GP will also be expected to attend the daily team huddles.
