Working in the Integrated Urgent Care Service, your work is managed through Adastra so that at the end of your shift you can go straight home.

Severnside IUC
SevernSide Integrated Urgent Care is the Urgent Care service for the whole of Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. SevernSide IUC incorporates both NHS111 and GP Out of Hours with the addition of a Clinical Assessment Service run by a centralised multi-professional team working closely together to support the whole system.
Clinicians can choose from a mixture of shift types:
- Face-to-face appointments at one of our Treatment Centres
- Mobile home visiting service
- Telephone triage
- Clinical Coordinator
- Professional Line – offering peer to peer support to fellow clinicians
- System CAS – a system wide, remote clinical assessment service, working alongside colleagues from ED, Urgent Care, Paediatrics, Mental Health, and General Practice
- Remote home working
The IUC service runs 24/7, 365 days a year with the majority of our shifts available weekday evenings and overnights and 24hrs at weekends and bank holidays.
Our clinicians are all able to access in-hours EMIS records whilst on shift, to support clinical decision making. There is also a friendly senior GP on shift (Clinical Coordinator) ready to provide advice to all clinicians when needed. There are also opportunities to work remotely (from home) with full access to clinical systems.
The work is free from paperwork, is time-bound and is interesting “proper” medicine. We have an open and supportive culture, with regular case-based forums and other learning avenues. You can work from as little as four hours a month alongside your current role, picking up as many ad hoc shifts as you wish, or commit to a regular shift pattern.
BrisDoc In-Hours Practice Services
We are perfectly placed to offer exciting career opportunities for clinicians to work either exclusively for one practice or across a portfolio of our services with the benefit of predictable working patterns.
With two well-established training practices, senior clinical experience and our organisational structure, there is ample opportunity for career development such as leadership, training and mentoring.
We promote protected time for both individual support through mentoring, and peer support within the practice and wider team. We have an active programme of shared education and learning across the practices with our clinical forums; these also provide the opportunity to network with clinical colleagues from other BrisDoc teams.
We are actively embracing allied health professionals such as clinical pharmacists, and adopting practices such as workflow optimisation, care navigation, use of technology, promotion of self-care and social prescribing to protect our GP’s time and workload.
Homeless Health Service
BrisDoc clinicians can choose to work in our Homeless Heath Service and see and treat homeless patients who visit the Compass Centre in Stokes Croft as well as outreach teams who actively go out into the community to seek homeless patients who may need our help. Patients can drop in for appointments with either a GP or a nurse five days a week.
Homeless Health’s daily clinics and drop-in service offers:
- general health advice and treatment
- support and advice re: mental health problems
- safe injecting advice
- minor injury care
- testing for sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy; all contraceptive methods available
- drugs/alcohol support and referral to other specialist services
- testing and counselling for blood borne viruses such as HIV/Hepatitis B & C
- opticians service
- referrals and liaison with other health and homeless services.
Facilitated appraisal and mandatory training needs
Clinical Guardian is our award winning audit system for Integrated Urgent Care. This provides you with feedback on your consultations which is summarised to provide evidence for your appraisal. We can also provide patient feedback including compliments, on a named clinician basis.
For all employed staff, successful completion of mandatory training attracts a bonus as part of the rewards package.
We are regulated by the Care Quality Commission
