Salaried GP 6-8 sessions with view to partnership + relocation fees We are pleased to offer a relocation package of up to £10,000 to assist with moving costs and help you settle into the area (subject to terms and conditions). Youll be working in a supportive friendly practice with experienced GP Partners , ANPs and Practice nurses. We have an open door policy so you are never on your own. We follow the BMA contract with 15 minute appointments, with an example session of 10 face to face appointments, 2 telephone calls and SDL time inbuilt into the weekly timetable. We are a training practice so we are able to support a newly qualified GP as well as experienced GPs. You will replace a retiring GP who has worked for the practice for 32 years. We have a stable practice population of 10500 patients looked after by a team of 4 partners, 2 salaried GPs, 3 ANPs, 3 practice nurses and 2 HCAs, who are supported by a hard-working reception and admin team. We are also very fortunate to work in an Integrated Care Centre housing the Community Nursing team, Same Day Urgent Care and Outreach Visiting Practitioners. We have a total triage system where the on call GP will see all requests to the practice and direct them towards an appointment, redirect to appropriate service, or call the patient directly. We all share the on call which is restricted to morning or afternoon session. You are fully supported while on call.
