About this role
On behalf of a municipality in the county of Vest-Agder in Southern Norway, we are seeking a specialist in family medicine who is looking for a stable work environment, broad clinical exposure and the opportunity to join a well-organized and supportive primary care team.
The GP office is one of several established practices in the municipality and hosts multiple list-holding doctors in a close-knit setting. The clinic is supported by experienced nurses and medical secretaries who ensure an efficient workflow, and the practice is well-equipped with modern diagnostic and treatment tools required for general practice.
You will collaborate closely with other healthcare professionals such as resident doctors, an infection control doctor, a municipal psychologist and the chief municipal medical officer. This provides excellent support and daily opportunities for clinical discussions, while you still work independently with your own patient list.

Intermunicipal out-of-hours emergency service
Work in maternal and child health clinics / school health services
Services connected to nursing homes and long-term care centers

Your list patients are prioritized, but you may also see non-listed patients if capacity allows
Allocation or change of GP lists is handled by HELFO according to national regulations
The practice has well-structured routines for patient enquiries, sampling, annual check-ups, and collaboration with other municipal health services
In addition to daytime work at the clinic, the position may include shifts at the intermunicipal out-of-hours service, located near a local hospital and staffed around the clock by nurses
