Flexible
Career and Returner Schemes for GPs
The
Flexible Career Scheme (FCS) provides doctors with
an opportunity to work flexibly within mainstream general practice
while being supported in maintaining their careers.
It
is applicable for a wide range of doctors, including:
- doctors
who want to work less than 50% of full time
-
doctors who want to take time out or cannot work full time, but
wish to keep in touch with the profession
-
doctors retired or semi-retired from the NHS, or those nearing retirement,
who wish to continue working but at a different pace
-
doctors currently not working who wish to return to practice and
need a period of supervised work.
