Not just another Rural Generalist Role! - 4T's Single Employer Rural Generalist model.

Описание: Western NSW Local health District is leading an innovative whole-of-health approach to care in rural communities. Servicing the 4T’s communities (Tottenham, Trangie, Trundle and Tullamore) this new model aims to address the historical challenges of primary care sustainability in rural communities, providing Doctors the flexibility to be well supported, so they can provide whole-of-health care (primary and aged care alongside acute and emergency care) in a networked, single employer system.

Contemporary co-located GP practices, are staffed and managed, to allow you to focus on providing safe and high quality patient care. We recognise the importance of professional networks, and as part of being a 4Ts Rural Generalist, you will be well connected, working with a team of colleagues across the 4Ts, and more broadly streamlining access to our District’s network of Specialists for clinical input. Appropriate work-life balance is supported by our Virtual Rural Generalist Service which works 24/7 to ensure you are not overburdened by minor presentations, particularly after-hours and on weekends.

Supporting quality and safety is a key attribute to this model with quarantined time to allow clinicians to discuss difficult clinical scenarios and to contribute to system improvements that can be facilitated to improve patient care.

This Rural Generalist role will be predominantly based in Tottenham and Tullamore, but will also support Trundle and Trangie as needed for leave cover, workload management and additional clinics.

As a single employer model, you will have access to competitive remuneration, where you can practice primary care that is outcome based, not based on patient volumes or billing. Whilst we are keen to see doctors move to our communities, we are happy to negotiate flexible employment arrangements including opportunities around fly-in, fly-out, relocation allowances or part-time appointments. You will also have opportunities for learning and development through NSW Health training programs, funding for education, peer networking and support from dedicated medical leadership.

Finally, you’ll be able to shape the future of rural health through direct involvement in training the next generation of rural generalists via linkages with local universities and GP training. Opportunities to be directly involved with medical education and research are available in the region and can be discussed with interested doctors.

We subscribe to the Rural Doctors’ Network concept of “easy entry, gracious exit,” recognising that some Doctors will want to include the 4Ts as part of their career growth, and for others, we hope they will fall in love with our region, supported by this innovative model, and stay.

The 4T’s model enables the practice of Rural Generalism with ease and is suited to an early career Rural Generalist who wants to develop their expertise in a supportive and collegiate environment or a seasoned practitioner who would like the autonomy to focus purely on practicing quality medicine.

The 4T’s aspires to be world leaders in rural health care, integrating best-practice primary care principles and innovative approaches to acute care.

We hope you will join us!
