Useful forms

 

There are two Primary Care Trusts (PCT's) that cover the county of Nottingham.  These are the Nottingham County PCT and the Nottingham city PCT.  you will need to contact the practice manager of the practice you are intending to join to find in which locality PCT the practice belongs to.

Nottingham County PCT. contact Lynne Sykes   0115 9931444

Nottingham City PCT. contact Claire Matthews  0115 9912334

In order to work at the practice, you will need to be on the relevant PCT's performance list.  You should also bear in mind that when you change your practice, you should again check to see in which PCT your second practice lies and should this be in the other PCT in which you are currently employed in, you will need to reapply again to the other PCTs list to get onto their performance list.

you should apply early in order that all the relevant checks and forms can be completed.  Failure to do so will delay your working at the practice, and thereby extend your required training in order to make up the required time period for the post.

The PCT will need to check your references from previous employers and also to perform a CRB check.  The CRB check is an enhanced check.  In order to work at the "out of hours" cooperative (NEMS), you need to be on the performers list and to have had a CRB check.  Administration at NEMS will contact your PCT and confirmed that you are eligible.

You should contact the relevant person responsible at the PCT highlighted above, they will send you the relevant forms, and ask you to make an appointment to see them.  Instructions will be included on the forms, these include the important paragraph instructing you to bring original documentation as copies will not be accepted.

Similarly if you are moving from a hospital post to general practice, irrespective of whether or not you have been in practice previously, you should again check with the PCT that you are still eligible at least six weeks before, just in case you need to be registered.
