About the role

We have already recruited a new GP to the Practice but still have an opportunity for an additional salaried GP to join us. Could you be the right person to complete our fantastic team at Brookside Health Centre in Freshwater on the beautiful Isle of Wight? We have 6 GPs but looking for a 7th to complete the team supporting just over 11,000 patients. We are looking for someone with drive and ambition to work with us as we continue to innovate and excel in Primary Care. If you are looking for a great work/life balance in an idyllic seaside location, and appreciate great clinical support, input and leadership opportunities without the personal liabilities and issues of a partnership, this really could be the right role for you! Brookside Health Centre was established in the mid-1980s and is a welcoming, innovative and progressive practice, working in close partnership with other services in the local community and PCN to serve our practice population of 11000+ people. We are a Limited Company with a GMS contract, and have a dedicated, successful and growing healthcare team.

You will work alongside GP and other colleagues providing full general practice level healthcare to our 11,100 patients, with a proportionate number of patients under your care to support continuity. Additionally we would like you to take on clinical leadership for a particular area of interest or need within the practice, in time. Your working week is divided up into various sessions, (morning and/or afternoon) which include F2F and telephone appointments, our Hub telephone triage team, Duty GP cover and Admin. We have a buddy system in place to ensure support amongst GP colleagues for pathology and correspondence during annual leave, and all GPs provide clinical support and leadership to the rest of the Practice team. Most of our home visiting is undertaken by our Paramedics and Nurse Consultant, but you would be expected to undertake a home visit as needed, during Duty GP sessions. The team here is very cohesive and supportive of each other, and everyone is always willing to help when needed, and you would be very welcome to be part of our future.

We have fantastic clinical and administrative support teams here at Brookside. You will be part of a 7 GP senior clinical team, working alongside 4 Advanced Nurse Practitioners, 3 Paramedics, and a wider team comprising of a Nurse Consultant, Pharmacist, Mental Health Practitioner, Practice Nurses, General Practice Assistants, Social Prescriber, Dietitian, Care Co-ordinator, Health and Wellbeing Coach. In addition we have a forward thinking Management team and excellent admin support teams, covering all areas. We pride ourselves as a centre of innovation and excellent care, with a Good overall rating at our last CQC inspection.
