Contract guidance for GPs in non-standard roles
Increasingly GPs step beyond the conventional boundaries of general practice to forge diverse careers that suit their interests, expertise and skills.
Apart from the standard practice setting, GPs can work for CCGs (clinical commissioning groups), LMCs (local medical committees), universities, training bodies, Trusts, private providers of NHS care, NHS England, and private practices to provide solely private care, to name a few.
It is important for GPs engaging in these roles to be aware of their rights and check that the employment offer and their working arrangements are fit for purpose.
