Position Overview:
Pertemps Medical is going through an exciting period of growth and change.

Purpose of the Job:
General Practitioner is responsible for the safe, effective and timely delivery of medical assessments on behalf of the Ministry of Defence (MoD) - for new recruits to the Royal Navy, the Marines and the Reserves.
This involves adopting an occupational medicine approach. Initially the Primary Care notes and optician report are to be reviewed in order to determine if there are or have been any conditions that may impact on a candidate’s ability to safely carry out the role they have applied for, or that may be made worse by the role.
Then a face-to-face medical allows further discussion of the candidate’s history and a thorough head to toe (non-intimate) examination enables the clinician to assess the condition of the candidate.
Any conditions found which may have a bearing on their fitness to enter the Royal Navy or Royal Marines are discussed with a senior Naval clinician who takes a decision on the final outcome.
This is then communicated to the candidate.
Full training is given in this process and reference material is provided to support the clinicians.
