About the role

We are looking for an enthusiastic Salaried GP for 4-6 sessions per week. We are a friendly, well organised, GMS Practice with high QOF scores and a good CQC rating. The Practice has 7 Partners and 10 Salaried GPs along with an urgent care team including Advanced Care Practitioners, Nurse Practitioners, Paramedics, a Mental Health Nurse and a pharmacy team of Clinical Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians. We are part of our local PCN which also works closely with a second local PCN. We work across 3 branches, providing care for over 24,000 and use EMIS Web, EPS and Docman10. In 2021 our main branch moved to new, purpose built premises and our list size is growing at a steady rate.

We offer a range of 3 contract options to Salaried GPs. Each option has a different level of workload which we hope allows applicants to select a role that they are comfortable with. The practice provides reimbursement of indemnity costs and an annual training budget. There are regular Salaried GP meetings with the managing Partner and Senior Managers.

The role consists of a mix of face to face and telephone consultations, although we are keen to embrace the advantages of new ways of working that we continue to develop. The rota is arranged so that one GP is on call each morning and afternoon and is able to provide same day support to the wider clinical team. A second GP is primarily responsible for visits each morning. Remaining GPs have routine sessions made up of telephone or face to face consultations. Patients are given a choice of selecting face to face or telephone at the time that they book their appointment. Sessions have some appointments reserved for GP led follow up appointments to support continuity of care.

Although we are a large team of over 100 staff working across 3 sites, the Partners believe it is important to maintain a supportive team ethos. All clinicians are supported to develop personal interests and as a result we have excellent links with the RCGP, academia, local practice networks and the ICB. We are an advanced training practice taking trainees, medical students and international scholars. Together we bring our experiences from outside the practice to innovate and push the standards of care we provide higher. Key financial benefits that the practice offers are: * Reimbursement of indemnity costs related to the sessions worked at the practice * £500 training budget * 6 weeks of annual leave, 2 weeks of additional leave to cover bank holidays, 2 weeks of study leave, 1 week of training leave. All pro rata. We have a fortnightly meeting slot and meetings include safeguarding, palliative care, significant events and our Journal Club at which clinicians discuss patient concerns, share new learning or discuss new guidance. We also have a meeting for Salaried GPs approximately every 6-8 weeks - this meeting is with one of the Partners, the Business Manager and the Clinical Services Manager and allows time to discuss proposals made by the Partners, share ideas and raise any queries.
