Job summary

Due to recent staff changes, we are looking for a dynamic, committed and forward thinking salaried GP to work 5-8 sessions per week and in return offer a number of benefits including:-

  • Competitive salary plus pro rata indemnity fees
  • Flexible session times, appointment structure and days to suit you.
  • 28 patient contacts per day, BMA safe working limits
  • Regular clinical meetings
  • Training opportunities to further own interests or specialisms within the practice.
  • Potential to teach undergraduate medical students and F2/ST doctors in practice
  • Limited number of visits, all of which replace appointments within regular sessions.
  • 6 weeks annual leave

                    Although general practice has undergone some major changes in the last few years, we still firmly believe in the Partnership model and that it can create support if you need it, a route to partnership if you want it, a real sense of belonging, and being part of a team.

                    We are a friendly practice with partners who are approachable and who encourage personal growth at work whilst ensuring that a healthy work/life balance is maintained.

                    As a high performing practice, we work across two sites, delivering healthcare to over 15,300 patients. We provide a comprehensive range of Primary Care services to our patients with a strong emphasis on quality and care in a supportive friendly atmosphere.

                    Main duties of the job

                    We are pleased to be able to offer flexibility in session number and days, and an informal chat prior to interview would be welcomed.

                    This exciting opportunity to join our friendly and dynamic team will include a balanced mix of on call/urgent same day and routine general practice work including prescription signing, home visits, reviewing results and reviewing patient documents using Docman.

                    We have completed programmes to improve efficiencies within the practice to enable more time for patient care and team catch-ups.

                    We have regular practice meetings and regular CPD sessions in-house.

                    About us

                    Currently our multi-disciplinary team includes GPs, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, ICB pharmacist and supportive nursing team (with chronic disease leads and experience). We work closely with the full range of multi disciplinary teams and can access support from Bristol Drugs Project (BDP), Citizens Advice, midwives, etc.

                    As part of Connexus PCN we employ clinical pharmacists, social prescribers and other health care professionals to deliver services that support a wide range of patients and assist with the clinical workload.
