GP With Special Interest (GPWSI) Hospital at Home

We are excited to offer the opportunity to join our Hospital at Home team on a part time basis as we seek to expand the service to offer more patients the opportunity to receive short-term, targeted intervention that provides a level of acute hospital care in their own home. There are up to five sessions per week available to provide medical input into the multidisciplinary hospital at home team.

You will provide comprehensive assessments for patients referred to the service, including consideration of current medical issues, polypharmacy and anticipatory care planning. You will be readily available to the multidisciplinary team for medical advice, follow up on requested investigations and provide updates to families.

You will also actively contribute to the development and expansion of what is a relatively new service for NHS Dumfries and Galloway.

Collaboration with our community care providers will prove vital for these patients; the ideal candidate will have experience in providing holistic MDT care plans to support older people in the community and will bring their insight from primary care into the acute setting.

We welcome informal enquiries from prospective candidates who wish to better understand the role.
