Employing My Services

I expect that most Practices will ask their Practice Manager to set up a contract between us. I will contact and correspond with whoever approaches me, with the assumption that they represent the Practice, unless advised otherwise.

1. Please read the section entitled Terms of Business

2. Then contact me via this website to see whether I am available for the dates proposed. Please include any relevant details about the service you require. I will reply promptly, by e-mail.

3. If I am available for the dates requested I will then telephone the Practice to secure the details of the service requested, and to agree the Fees for this.

4. And I will then e-mail the Practice, with a document attached that details the booking, to allow the Practice to cross-check their record of the arrangment between us.

5. The Practice then need to e-mail me a reply confirming the booking and the details of our agreement. I will accept this e-mail reply as confirmation of the booking. This will secure the contract between us

6. When I arrive at a Practice in which I have not worked before I'll bring with me a 'personal pack' containing a set of good scan copies (not the originals) of all the relevant documents that confirm my identity, my eligibility to work as a GP and that I am properly indemnified.
