Doctors' Retainer Scheme |
 |
Purpose of the Scheme
The scheme is intended to ensure that doctors who can only undertake
a small amount of paid professional work may keep in touch with general
practice and retain their skills, with a
view to returning to NHS general practice in the future. The scheme is
therefore a combination of service commitment and continuing professional
development. Educational
supervision will ensure that a balance is maintained between service
and education.
Who is eligible?
The scheme is usually (but not exclusively) used by women with
young children but any qualified GP who can only undertake only a small
amount of paid professional work maybe considered.
Retained doctors must intend to return to practice in due course, can
work flexibly up to 4 sessions per week (a session is three and a half
hours) and receive educational and clinical supervision from their practice.
Length of Scheme
The length of the scheme is usually five years.
Retained doctors renew their membership every twelve months.
