Northamptonshire Healthcare Foundation Trust is recruiting General Practitioners (up to 8 sessions a week) to work at HMP Lincoln. This is a remand prison serving predominantly the population of Lincolnshire and North Nottinghamshire and the courts in Lincolnshire.
If you are interested in improving the lives of the most socially deprived population with complex health morbidities, then this job is for you. You will be providing physical healthcare equivalent to that in the community with fellow doctors and other healthcare professionals through a polyclinic model with expertise in Physical Health, Mental Health, Substance Misuse, Dentistry, Physiotherapy, Podiatry, Sexual Health etc. As such you will have quick access to all these specialists for your patients as opposed to the lengthy waiting times in community practices.

You will be a senior and experienced clinician who can work autonomously to a level of defined competencies, as agreed within local clinical governance frameworks.
You will join an outstanding-rated Trust delivering trauma-informed healthcare within prisons, supported by strong medical leadership, protected CPD time and there may be an opportunity for some hybrid working. You may be asked to provide cross cover for GP colleagues at other prison sites within the Lincolnshire area. However, there are no on call commitments
A typical working week is likely to include clinics/patient reviews, team meetings, liaison with other professionals, clinical administration, and supervision of clinical colleagues.
