The General Practice Assistant (GPA) supports GPs and the wider primary-care team with routine clinical and administrative tasks. Typical duties may include taking patient histories, recording observations, assisting with examinations and minor procedures, preparing rooms, updating clinical records, handling referrals, and helping manage follow-up work. Candidates are generally expected to have relevant healthcare or primary-care experience, strong communication and organisational skills, accurate record-keeping ability, and an understanding of confidentiality, safeguarding and infection control. The role requires compassion, professionalism, reliability and the ability to work independently while knowing when to escalate concerns. Flexibility is important because the post is temporary and duties may change according to practice workload.
