London, United Kingdom Islington GP Federation Full time

**JOB DESCRIPTION**

**JOB TITLE**: General Practice Receptionist & Administrator

**REPORTS TO**: Reception Manager

**HOURS**: Part-Time 15 Hours per week

**SALARY**: £25,000 per annum PRO RATA

**ROLE**: Permanent

**About Barnsbury Medical Practice (BMP)**

BMP has a diverse population of 4,000+ patients in a comparatively deprived area of Islington. The practice is currently run by IGPF on a caretaking contract. IGPF will be bidding for the APMS contract for the practice when the time comes, most likely this will be towards the end of 2023. The practice team is taking an innovative approach to clinical systems, for example bringing in remote GPs to supplement access and administrative cover, experimenting with proactive SMS messaging tools and embedding a comprehensive diary recall system. We recognise the need for dedicated time for all of the work of the practice and are creating roles to suit different preferences of working, whilst retaining high quality care with continuity where it is needed. This is achieved with support from the IGPF IT team in the robust use of new technologies and ‘at scale’ general practice. Further innovation, change and development is certain.

Despite only running BMP for 18 months, we are extremely happy that BMP patients have rated the team well above the national and regional average:
