The GP Retainer Scheme
About the Scheme
The GP Retainer Scheme was Developed to allow doctors, who have personal reasons for going part time or wish to undertake a lesser amount of clinical work, to keep in touch with General Practice and retain their skills. It is intended that a retainer will return to a substantive NHS post in General Practice in the future.
The retainer scheme is not designed for doctors with portfolio careers whose intention it is to work full time, General Practice being just one area of their work.
The scheme is combination of service commitment and continuing professional development. A retainer doctor works in a practice approved by KSS GP Deanery. The practice provides educational support and in recognition of this recieves reimbursement in the form of a grant.
