Job description

The post-holder will manage a patient caseload and deal with a wide range of health needs in a primary care setting, ensuring the highest standards of care for all registered patients.

You will be required to work as an autonomous practitioner, responsible for the provision of medical services to the diverse practice population, delivering an excellent standard of clinical care whilst complying with the GMS contract and GMC standards for good medical practice.

About us

We are aware that being a larger organisation can present teamwork challenges and are therefore focused on staff wellbeing to ensure we operate as one team. We take time out for coffee breaks every day and hold two clinical meetings per week, to encourage our clinicians to collaborate and support each other. We have a social committee, with funds allocated and we have a wellbeing committee, also with dedicated funds to make improvements to our working environment.

With this population size we are able to offer GPs choice of specialist interests and we allocate a personal assistant to each GP to minimise the administrative work and focus on looking after the patients.

The clinical team currently consists of; GPs, ANPs, Nurse Prescribers, Practice Nurses, Mental Health Nurse, Mental Health Support Workers, HCAs, Pharmacists and Physiotherapists.

We are also very keen on teaching: We have a couple of GP Fellows, a GP trainer, GP Teachers looking after 3rd, 4th and 5th Medical Students from the local University.

Our core values are centred around Continuity as we believe that to be the cornerstone of Primary Care. We support Continuity everyday with our values: Respect, Teamwork and Confidentiality.

We are focussing on the NHS 10 Year Plan and the idea of Neighbourhoods and Integrated Neighbourhood Teams, as we work towards single and multiple provider contracts.
