salaried GP

We are looking for a salaried GP join our friendly team. The post is for four to eight sessions and is available now but we would be keen to wait for the right candidate. An interest in medical student teaching and/or GP training would be welcomed.

Our focus is on continuity of care, sustainable working and practitioner wellbeing, working to 15-minute appointments, mostly face-to-face. We have high levels of patient satisfaction and few complaints. We meet for coffee (or tea) every day and prioritise regular protected admin sessions and away-days. We are supportive of GPs developing other interests and are keen to evolve the way we work within the modern NHS, while protecting the core elements of traditional general practice that still make this the best job in the world.

We have a wonderful, loyal and enthusiastic administrative team and a list size of about 5,000 across a broad social demographic. Our clinical team consists of four part-time partners, one salaried GP (this post), a practice nurse and a healthcare assistant. While we have a diverse rural population, stretching across two counties, many of our house calls can be done on foot or by bike.

We work from an attractive, well planned, purpose-built medical centre that provides a pleasant working environment and is shared with two other similar-sized practices. All three practices have a full complement of GPs and a common philosophy of care. We have a good range of services on site including practice pharmacy team, district nurses, care home team, health visitors, midwife, physiotherapy, primary care substance use nurse and CTACS . Dunbar has a vibrant third sector and high levels of community engagement which allow us the opportunity to provide holistic, de-medicalised care where appropriate.
