About us

Overview of your organisation

We passionately believe in a future for primary care at the heart of the NHS, but recognise it needs to change the way it delivers care and operates to survive. We believe in not just following convention, but also looking outside the box for the best solutions.

We believe Primary Care services need to evolve to survive and we are looking for GPs who want to join us on this journey.

We have already made basic changes with GPs working shifts of 81/2 hours rather than sessions, ensuring doctors either finish early or start later to help them maintain a work life basis.

We also understand that the role of primary care is to reach out to our communities and work alongside them helping to de medicalise where appropriate and target the real underlying courses such as housing, lifestyle and mental health.

You will be working under the support and guidance of the Senior Management team, comprising the Clinical Director/GP Partner, Clinical Governance and Quality Care lead, Business Manager and Nurse Lead.
