Salaried GP Nights IUCS (Out of Hours)

Job Summary
Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust (GHC) and Integrated Care-24 (IC24) are recruiting General Practitioners to work night shifts within our Integrated Urgent Care Service (out of hours).

IC24 and GHC are two different companies. IC24 is a not for profit organisation that provides responsive, safe, high-quality urgent healthcare to over six million patients in the UK. GHC provides joined-up mental health, physical health and learning disability services to people of all ages across Gloucestershire. This is in our hospitals, community building and primarily in people's own homes.

The Integrated Care Service covering Clinical Assessment service, Home visits and Out of Hours are looking for NIGHT SALARIED GP's to join our team.

• 89.7% believe they are making a positive difference to patients/service users;
• 73.3% would recommend the organisation as a place to work;

Our results put us as 5th nationally as a Community, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities NHS Employer of Choice and 1st equal amongst all NHS Provider Trusts in the South West.
