Main duties of the job

  • As a Salaried GP the post holder will be a key clinician within our team, providing general medical services and dealing with a wide range of health needs in a primary care setting.
  • Opportunities for portfolio working and development of specialist clinical interest roles would be nurtured.
  • Our current GP appointment ledgers are all 15 minute appointments for both telephone and Face2Face.
  • Our salaried GP would have potential partnership opportunity in the future.
  • Prospective candidates are encouraged to contact our Co Practice Managers, Beth Foster / Michelle Weldon, for informal discussions and visits.

About us

  • Our practice team consists of four GP Partners, a practice nursing team including an ANP, a prescribing Pharmacist and other PCN staff including a Mental Health Practitioner who are all supported by a number of experienced administrative staff.
  • We currently are an Emis Web practice, however we are working towards migrating to SystmOne by 31st January 2024.
