Long-Term (PT) Locum Opportunity at a Solo FHO-FHT Practice

A FHO-FHT physician with a solo practice in East Hamilton (near the border of Stoney Creek) is seeking a long-term locum to provide part-time coverage starting in July 2024.

The ideal candidate will be available for 1 day per week for a minimum of 4 months. The practice is ideally seeking coverage on Mondays but is open to other arrangements based on locum availability (coverage in full day or half day increments may be available).

With a roster of approximately 1,600 well-managed patients, the locum physician can expect to see 16-20 patients per day. The current practice hours are Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm (with patient appointments typically booked between 10 am and 4 pm) and half days on Wednesday and Fridays.

The practice is part of a 5 member FHO as well as the Hamilton Family Health Team. A number of allied health care professionals support this practice including a registered nurse, 2 physician assistants, and a clinical pharmacist. Dietician and psychiatry support is also available at a nearby Hamilton Family Health Team hub. The practice is also supported administratively by a receptionist, office manager, and billing support staff, and patient records are managed through Telus PS Suite EMR.

The practice is located in the same building as a FHO colleague and the practice space includes a shared office/charting area as well as 3 exam rooms, staff and patient washrooms, and a reception area and waiting room. Parking is free for both staff and patients, and the practice is conveniently located less than 10 minutes from the Red Hill Valley Parkway as well as the Queen Elizabeth Parkway.

Interested candidates are asked to submit a CV to Brad van den Heuvel at brad.vandenheuvel@ghhn.ca and outline interest in long-term (PT) FHO-FHT locum opportunity in East Hamilton.
