trainers, University of Birmingham medical student tutors, the lead trainer for
the local VTS, and a number of LARC fitters.
All doctors meet daily for coffee

generally debrief about our surgeries.
We offer an attractive contract,
including the BMA guided CPD allowance equating to a session per week (pro
rata), salary in DDRB recommended range (dependent upon experience) , no extended hours work unless you want to (some people do
actually request this). Workflow and lab links are equally shared amongst all
doctors on your working day, so no returning to piles of paperwork after annual
leave and our system has two duty doctors each day to provide additional
support, and a large supportive team with regular social events. Many of the
partners started here as GP registrars.

salaried GPs, with support from 11 partners, 5 ANPS, 4 clinical pharmacists and
