Workload & Appointment Templates
We aim to provide a clear and manageable workload and are happy to discuss the appointment template with you in advance.
A standard GP session will include:
- 12 patient contacts per session
- Session may include up to a maximum of two home visits although we have an advanced paramedic practitioner who completes the majority.
- A maximum of 10 prescription queries per session
- A mixture of telephone triage/callbacks and face-to-face consultations
Our usual template can include approximately:
- 3 telephone callbacks
- 9 face-to-face patient contacts
However, we are flexible.
We appreciate that every GP has their own preferred way of consulting and managing their working day. We are therefore very happy to discuss the template with you and agree something that suits how you practise, while also meeting the requirements of the practice.
