  Job summary

  Our approach is innovative and forward-looking, and dedicated to excellent clinical outcomes.

  We want you to be able to do the best work of your career, confident in your care and proud of the outcomes you achieve for your patients. We work hard to ensure that our GPs are motivated and engaged in contributing to a supportive culture of mutual learning. Mereside practices are well-regarded for GP, student and nurse training. We enjoy weekly clinical meetings, quarterly half day closures, and daily coffee meetings for clinical discussions and case sharing.

  We are purposeful in our efforts to manage GP workload and ensure sustainability, having developed a diverse and large team of support staff over recent years. Admin teams process letters, enact medication changes, and undertake medication reviews. We have clinical support from a large nursing team and Advanced Practitioner team. The duty team consists of a duty GP supported by Advanced Practitioners and nurses working together in the same room, creating a collaborative, supportive environment in which to manage the on-the-day workload together.

  We embrace technology to enable more effective and efficient ways of working. All practices use SystmOne and AskMyGP for managing patient queries, meaning our waiting time for appointments is zero and our accessibility rating is excellent. We use MS Teams to enable regular video meetings across sites and facilitate more rapid collaborative working.

  Main duties of the job

  You will be part of a supportive team and be responsible for managing your own patient list. Patient first contact is predominantly, but not exclusively, through AskMyGP and we try to ensure an equitable distribution of patient contacts. You will undertake face-to-face appointments and may be called on for other activities such as home visits, health checks, routine reviews, baby checks, medicals or other private reports as applicable to your patient list.

  You will be primarily responsible for administrative / paperwork / correspondence / results applicable to your patients but are able to call on the help and assistance of our admin and nursing teams and we actively encourage delegation of activity to those who are best suited to a particular task.

  About us

  Mereside Medical is a flourishing group of three East Cambridgeshire practices in Ely, Haddenham and Soham, together serving c.40,000 patients. As a group, weve grown rapidly and now employ more than 140 people across the three practices. We are people-centred in our approach to work and believe that every contact that a patient has with our staff is as valuable as the next in the patient journey. We believe in clinical excellence, and that general practice is the cornerstone of well-being in our community. We are innovative and forward looking, and we embrace technology to enable more effective, efficient, and connected ways of working to deliver ever better outcomes for our patients.

  Our goal is to deliver on the ambitions laid out in the GP forward view in a way that is locally relevant, valued by patients, and satisfying for our staff. In addition to our core general practice work we run a large clinical research trials unit and we work closely with the ICB to develop innovative ways to improve local service provision. We are the lead practice for one of the two local PCNs and are represented in both.

• About the company

  National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
