General Practitioner

Western Road Surgery is looking for a General Practitioner to join their progressive, forward thinking clinical team at the surgery. The GP team is made up of 6 partners, and 1 salaried GP. The surgery also employs a pharmacist and nursing team, as well as a clinical coding team, reception team and home visiting team. As a GP here, correspondence, prescription queries and the majority of home visits are completed by other teams. The surgery also uses AccuRX for their digital triage system, used effectively each day.

Clinical Care: GPs assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of acute and chronic medical conditions for patients of all ages. They perform physical examinations, take medical histories, order and interpret diagnostic tests, and provide appropriate treatments or referrals to specialists when necessary. They also manage chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and heart disease, adjusting treatment plans and educating patients on self-care.

Preventive Care and Health Education: GPs provide routine check ups, immunizations, screenings, and lifestyle guidance, including diet, exercise, and smoking cessation, to prevent health problems and promote wellness. They educate patients on managing chronic conditions and maintaining overall health.

Western Road Surgery makes up part of Billericay PCN. We are a forward thinking, driven, proactive surgery looking to increase our clinical workforce. We cover 13,000 patients, and are a very supportive practice with 6 partners on hand to help with any clinical advice.
