General Practitioner with special interest in women’s health

NHS Medical & Dental: Salaried GP

Job overview

Looking for something different from traditional general practice?

Would you like to become a member of our Primary Care Directorate clinical team providing innovative care to our patient population as part of an outstanding CQC organisation and HSJ Trust of the Year?

We are looking to appoint a highly motivated and committed General Practitioner with special interest in women’s health (LARC, IUCD and implants) to join our clinical team. This is a pivotal post in the delivery of quality and innovative primary care services. We are a friendly and well organised team with a forward thinking approach. 

We are looking for a commitment of 5 sessions per week (plus CPD), to be undertaken on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays primarily based at Holmcroft Surgery, but offering cross cover where needed to support other bases within our integrated practice portfolio.

We are a high achieving, patient centred practice and have implemented a care model to improve patient experience, providing urgent and routine appointments. Standard clinical sessions and the provision of administration time for non-patient facing work within the session is routinely included.

Excellent clinical support from our extended clinical team, including ANPs and UCPs.

Positive promotion of learning and CPD supported by weekly protected learning events along with the benefits of being part of a larger Trust.

Main duties of the job

You will manage a caseload and deal with a wide range of health needs in a primary care setting, ensuring the highest standards of care for all registered and temporary patients.

Team work is an essential part of the role, working as part of our senior clinical team to provide quality care to our patients as well as supporting the wider practice core clinical workload.

Working for our organisation

Being part of the Team at Combined is fantastic in itself. But apart from the teamwork, the fulfilment, the support and the enjoyment you’ll gain, there are also some specific benefits which we think make it a great idea to join Combined Healthcare. 

Not only would you be joining an Outstanding Trust that offers excellent training, development and support, we commit to our employees well-being through work life balance, on-going development, support and reward.

Our vision is ‘To be Outstanding in all we do and how we do it’ and the way we do inclusion is no exception. As a ‘Disability Confident Employer’, we very much believe that inclusion is something that you feel when you work at the Trust and we are continuously developing our culture of inclusion. Our teams pride themselves on compassion, team work and resilience. 

We are a teaching practice and there is the opportunity to support both under graduate and post graduate placements.

NSCHT is registered for tier 2 employer sponsorship.
