Salaried GP

Job description

Job responsibilities

Our approach is innovative and forward-looking, and dedicated to excellent clinical outcomes.

We want you to be able to do the best work of your career, confident in your care and proud of the outcomes you achieve for your patients. We work hard to ensure that our GPs are motivated and engaged in contributing to a supportive culture of mutual learning. Mereside practices are well-regarded for GP, student and nurse training. We enjoy weekly clinical meetings, quarterly half day closures, and daily coffee meetings for clinical discussions and case sharing.

We are purposeful in our efforts to manage GP workload and ensure sustainability, having developed a diverse and large team of support staff over recent years. Admin teams process letters, enact medication changes, and undertake medication reviews. We have clinical support from a large nursing team and Advanced Practitioner team. The duty team consists of a duty GP supported by Advanced Practitioners and nurses working together in the same room, creating a collaborative, supportive environment in which to manage the on-the-day workload together.

We embrace technology to enable more effective and efficient ways of working. All practices use SystmOne and AskmyGP for managing patient queries, meaning our waiting time for appointments is minimal and our accessibility rating is excellent. We use MS Teams to enable regular video meetings across sites and facilitate more rapid collaborative working.
