Job Purpose The General Practice Assistant (GPA) plays a key role in supporting the smooth and efficient running of the practice, enabling clinicians to focus on patient care. Working as part of our multi-disciplinary team, the GPA provides both clinical and administrative support to improve patient access and experience.

If you are not already accredited, you will be supported to undertake the GPA training programme leading to formal clinical sign-off. Main Duties and Responsibilities Arrange internal and external referrals on behalf of clinicians (e.g. Social Prescribers, First Contact Practitioners, Mental Health Practitioners, Podiatry, Dietetics, hospitals or community clinics). Process urine specimen submissions, complete urinalysis and action results in line with practice protocols. Support clinicians with administrative duties and data entry into the EMIS clinical system.

Maintain stock control and prepare clinical rooms for daily use. Support infection prevention and control activity within the practice. Assist with vaccine, injectable, and medication stock management. Complete simple clinical observations (e.g. dipstick urine, blood pressure, ECGs, phlebotomy). Support Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) and Long-Term Condition reviews, including recall management. Sort and prioritise clinical correspondence, ensuring information is coded and added to patient records accurately. Help complete non-clinical sections of forms (e.g. insurance, mortgage, benefits) for GP review. Support complaint investigations and contribute to service improvement. Work within your competence and seek supervision where appropriate. Standard Requirements Confidentiality: Maintain strict confidentiality and comply with GDPR and Data Protection legislation.
