This Job Description is not intended to form a part of the contract of employment or to be a complete list of duties and responsibilities, but a guide for information to the job.

This Job Description will be periodically reviewed in the light of developing work requirements. The individual in post will be expected to contribute towards this revision.

**Confidentiality**

In the course of your duties, you may have access to confidential information about patients, staff or other General Practice business. On no account must such information be divulged to anyone who is not authorised to receive it.

Confidentiality of information must be preserved at all times whether at or away from work.

**Outside Employment/Outside Interests**

If you have other work or outside interest, this must not conflict with your duties and responsibilities or your attendance for work as an employee of the Practice.

It is a condition of employment that you must inform the Practice Manager before taking up post of any private practice, work for outside agencies or other employers, voluntary work, or outside interest you have or propose to have.

This is to ensure there is no question of creating a ‘conflict’ of interest with your Practice duties. You must therefore seek the Partners’ approval before taking on any such other work or outside interest at any time after entering the Practice’s employment.
