General Practitioner

Break into prison healthcare Are you looking to move out of community practice or incorporate prison healthcare with your current working commitments? HMP Hollesley Bay is currently looking for a GP to work within the multi-disciplinary team across both Hollesley Bay and HMP Warren Hill. Care UK is the Health in Justice market leader, providing healthcare services to offenders across the country. Our model of care is our Wellbeing Approach – an integrated, comprehensive approach in recognition of the fact prisoners are a socially-excluded group with healthcare needs which are complex and often associated with poor outcomes. It adopts the premise no single health/wellbeing factor can be taken in isolation of other motivational issues which might impact a person’s care. We’ll utilise the wellbeing model to put patient care and safety at the heart of everything we do through assessing prisoners across 5 domains of; physical and mental wellbeing, substance misuse, relationships and resettlement. The patient and clinician complete a wellbeing wheel assessment to set goals and outcomes in partnership. The patient will complete the assessment and any needs identified will be met by our fully integrated service delivery team. About the Job As a member of the Multi-Disciplinary Team, the General Practitioner will provide clinical assessment and diagnosis to the patient’s requirements and make timely decisions regarding future management. You will also provide a highly specialist resource to other healthcare staff, patients and carers and have active involvement in clinical governance/effectiveness activities. It doesn’t end there; you will have a chance to become actively involved in audit, teaching and training (management of substance misuse and/or BBV) as well as helping us to adapt the service to the ever-changing needs of the patients. Additional Information Our sessions are Mon-Fri 08.00-13.00 alternate days between Warren Hill and Hollesley Bay, and will involve needing an RCGP level 2 trained GP to support our IDTS needs at Hollesley Bay. The salary for this position is up to £96,900 per annum (pro-rata) depending on experience. Please note that offers of employment are subject to Care UK terms and conditions and receipt of satisfactory references, Enhanced DBS Check and prison vetting.
