Job summary

Come and join us in the beautiful Cathedral City of Lichfield. We are a large supportive GMS training Practice (c. 31,000 patients and growing!). Due to retirement and planning for growth we would like a doctor to join our team.

Main duties of the job

We are a busy, highly productive practice, always looking to provide excellent care and services for our patients.

In general the post holder will be expected to undertake all the normal duties and responsibilities associated with a GP working in Primary Care such as sessional appointments, duty sessions per week, home visits, telephone and face to face consultations.

Our GPs are encouraged to pursue their other interests. Within our current salaried GPs we have a number of GP 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 (the most important part of our day) we share learning ask questions and 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.

About us

You would be joining a team of 9 salaried GPs, with support from 11 partners, 5 ANPS, 4 clinical pharmacists and 8 practice nurses.

We are looking for applicants who agree with our ethos , which promotes fairness and a supportive team approach.

Along with the above we have particular interests in new innovations and research.
