The National Clinical Assessment Service offers a specialist service to the NHS to help resolve concerns about the performance of doctors and dentists

Assessors in General Practice who have qualified as doctors outside the UK
£350 per day plus expenses

The National Clinical Assessment Authority is  seeking to recruit 8-10 General Practitioners who have qualified as doctors outside the UK to be part of the NCAS assessor panel. Assessors are required to be available for up to 15 days a year to ensure we provide a service throughout the UK.

You will work as part of a small assessment team to conduct clinical assessments. The purpose of an NCAS assessment is to: provide an independent view on the performance of the practitioner, within the wider context of their practice; identify satisfactory practice and any areas of concern; identify factors that may be contributing to these concerns; make recommendations for addressing any difficulties identified.

It is essential that you are in good standing with the GMC and with your specialty and have a minimum of five years’ experience as a General Practitioner. You will be familiar with the principles of assessment, audit and review with at least two years’ experience as an assessor as well as having proven report writing skills. You will currently be working in an NHS environment and intend to continue for the next two years. To enhance our assessor panel, we are particularly seeking to recruit general practitioners who have qualified as doctors outside the UK.
