OOH Locum GP (Overnight Shifts) – Birmingham - ASAP Start!

OOH Locum GP (Overnight Shifts) – Birmingham

Some GPs do their best work while the rest of the city is asleep. If that’s you, Danny is recruiting Out-of-Hours GPs to cover overnight shifts for a well-established Birmingham urgent care service.

Key Details:
– Location: Birmingham
– Role: OOH GP
– Rate: £95 per hour
– Availability: 3–5 days available, with the option to discuss ongoing work
– Working pattern: Overnight shifts, including weekdays and weekends
– Patient workload: A mix of telephone assessments and face-to-face appointments at the base
– Clinical system: SystmOne
– Start date: Shifts available now

Key Responsibilities:
– Assessing urgent problems by telephone and deciding on the right next step
– Seeing patients at the base who need examining overnight
– Prescribing, safety-netting and arranging admission or onward referral when needed
– Recording clear handover notes for daytime services and the patient’s own GP

About the Opportunity:
Overnight OOH work has a different rhythm. Once the evening rush settles, the pace is steadier, giving you time to assess carefully and think things through. You’ll be part of a small, close-knit night team, with a senior clinician on every shift and a clear escalation route if a case becomes complex. Shifts are released well in advance, making it easier to plan rest and other commitments, and regular night GPs are valued and looked after. The base is easy to reach from across the West Midlands.

Requirements:
– Full GMC registration with a licence to practise
– Inclusion on the NHS England Medical Performers List
– Right to work in the UK
– Appropriate medical indemnity cover
– Relevant GP/primary care experience
– Up-to-date compliance
