Salaried GP - Telford, United Kingdom - Linden Hall Surgery

Description

Job summary

We at Linden Hall Surgery are looking to expand our team and recruit a permanent salaried GP for 6 sessions per week.

This is an excellent role for both established and newly qualified GPs in a friendly and diverse practice with a focus on work-life balance. Our ideal candidate is positive with a good sense of humour, fantastic communication skills and keen to really integrate with the current team. We are also able to sponsor Tier 2 applicants.

Main duties of the job

The practice is primarily split between the surgery at Newport, and the surgery at Muxton which is currently being extended. We also provide a GP service for the students at Harper Adams university.

The working day is primarily face-to-face consultations, both prebooked and on the day, with clinician autonomy on the way their day is structured. Individual circumstances can be accommodated, for example adjusted start/finish times to take in to account childcare requirements.

We are a total triage practice, utilising GP triage for all requests on the AccuRx platform, supported by an excellent triage support team within a dedicated triage hub. This has given us fantastic responsiveness to clinical need, with patients seeing the right person at the right time. 60% of patients are seen on the day and all within 2 weeks.

We utilise EMIS, Docman 10 and AccuRx, with an emphasis on fair and reasonable admin requirements. Admin is supported by a team of GP assistants and an excellent secretarial and admin team.

We have a low burden of home visits and you are not required to see any extras when working a routine session. The role will consist of one duty triage session per week, with occasional annual leave cover.

The role of GP is well supported with additional healthcare staff including clinical pharmacist, first contact physiotherapist, advanced nurse practitioner, paramedics, social prescribers, mental health practitioner, and a full team of nurses and healthcare assistants.
