Locum GP - Hospital In The Home - Wagga Wagga NSW
Prescript has an excellent and rare opportunity for GPs interested in taking a break from percentage billings arrangements, whilst putting their clinical expertise to the test in a leadership role with a reputable regional health service.
We’ve received excellent feedback from our locum GP finishing at the end of the month. Now with the health service advertising for a permanent doctor imminently – this could be one of the last chances you have to lock in an extended locum block in this field. It’s therefore also the perfect trial to work within Wagga if you’re considering a permanent career change this year!
The Position
Working with Wagga Wagga Base Hospital, you will be supporting the clinical director with medical governance and clinical care across two minor injury services. This position requires medical leadership as part of a multidisciplinary team, providing care to patients referred to ambulatory care, Hospital In The Home, and PIXI clinics.
Your impact in the role will ensure appropriate arrangements will be made for patients discharged from hospital; communicating with external medical practitioners, overseeing detailed discharge summaries and management plans, and supporting ambulatory teams - maximising the chance of good health outcomes.
As part of the role, you will support the development of telehealth models of care to streamline the consultation and admission process for patients and practitioners.
All teams within the HITH department specialise in non-urgent medical care, with a focus on preventing re-admission to hospital for patients, and the continuity of care in their community. There is no requirement to have Emergency Medicine or recent Hospital experience.
