Job summary
A
fantastic opportunity has arisen, due to retirement, for a 5 session salaried GP to join
our friendly, enthusiastic and forward-looking team at Burngreave Surgery.
List
size around 8000 patients. We serve an inner city, ethnically diverse
population with many patients born outside the UK including a sizeable
proportion of refugees. Our patients are resourceful, but the health needs are
high. At present we also have a smaller
branch surgery at Herries Road which is open on 4 mornings a week. We are
committed to delivering high quality patient care in a challenging environment.
Over the last few years, we have strived to have community languages on
reception.
We
are entering an exciting time of change. We will be moving to a new publicly
owned building in the spring. Currently
being built, it is sited on Spital Street and is built to high environmental
standards. The practice will be the
largest tenant occupying the first floor whilst the ground floor will have much
needed shared bookable space for the network and local community. At the time
of moving our branch surgery at Herries Road will close but we are expecting an
overall expansion of the list around the time of moving. Our training capacity
is currently limited by space but we are intending to train GP registrars once
settled in new build.
Main duties of the job
Currently, we are specifically looking for someone to do a role which is split between core clinical general practice and care homes. At present there is one session of care home work available but due to changes anticipated early next year, the proportion of care home work would increase to two or more sessions so an interest and confidence , or developing confidence, in frailty and end of life care is vital.
About us
We aim to support and nurture the skills and development of our staff. We are a welcoming team and try and look after each other with good working relationships across administrative and clinical staff. We know that everyone on the team has a vital part to play. Regular refreshments provided during clinic. We have a sociable staff room with a supply of fresh fruit and there is chat and company at lunch on most days. Being very central the practice is easy to reach on bike foot or by public transport.
Our core clinical team currently consists of 4 GP partners 4 salaried GPs 1 FY2 resident doctor 2 Advanced Nurse Practitioners 2 Practice nurses 2 Health Care Assistants 2 Pharmacists a social prescriber and a visiting Physio.
We also host student nurses on placement and medical students with an interest in working in a Deep End area or in the Greener Practice initiative.
