Salaried Gp

We are a dynamic GP surgery under new management since January 2022.
We are forward-thinking and work across three sites, two of which operate dispensaries for our local population.
General practice is busy and can be stressful and therefore team morale and a positive, supportive, well-organised working environment is top of the things we aim to provide for our GPs.
We are looking for a GP who wants to come in, treat the patients well, engage positively with staff and join us in our drive to be a well-run practice delivering positive outcomes for our patients.
Our practice Mission Statement is to place patients at the heart of all we do recognising that every patient matters.
We aim to provide a good service and for all of our team to be proud of where they work.
As a surgery, we are on a big recruitment drive to create new roles across the practice as part of our desire to increase appointments and build greater resilience across our team.
We aim to provide all our staff with a good work-life balance whereby the odd stressful day is the norm (as we know this can't always be avoided) and not a workplace where a stressful day is considered and accepted as the 'norm'.

Creating such an environment is important for three reasons: it improves operational effectiveness, it is morally the right thing to do, and it is required by law.
Patients and their families have the right to be treated fairly and be routinely involved in decisions about their treatment and care.
They can expect to be treated with dignity and respect and will not be discriminated against on any grounds including age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.
Patients have a responsibility to treat other patients and our staff with dignity and respect.
Staff have the right to be treated fairly in recruitment and career progression.
Staff can expect to work in an environment where diversity is valued and equality of opportunity is promoted.
Staff will not be discriminated against on any grounds including age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.
Staff have a responsibility to ensure that you treat our patients and their colleagues with dignity and respect.
Safety, Health, Environment and Fire (SHEF) This practice is committed to supporting and promoting opportunities for staff to maintain their health, well-being and safety.
You have a duty to take reasonable care of health and safety at work for you, your team and others, and to cooperate with employers to ensure compliance with health and safety requirements.
All personnel are to comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, Environmental Protection Act 1990, Environment Act 1995, Fire Precautions (workplace) Regulations 1999 and other statutory legislation.
Confidentiality This practice is committed to maintaining an outstanding confidential service.
Patients entrust and permit us to collect and retain sensitive information relating to their health and other matters, pertaining to their care.
They do so in confidence and have a right to expect all staff will respect their privacy and maintain confidentiality at all times.
It is essential that if the legal requirements are to be met and the trust of our patients is to be retained that all staff protect patient information and provide a confidential service.
Quality & Continuous Improvement (CI) To preserve and improve the quality of our output, all personnel are required to think not only of what they do, but how they achieve it.
By continually re-examining our processes, we will be able to develop and improve the overall effectiveness of the way we work.
The responsibility for this rests with everyone working within the practice to look for opportunities to improve quality and share good practice.
This practice continually strives to improve work processes which deliver health care with improved results across all areas of our service provision.
We promote a culture of continuous improvement, where everyone counts and staff are permitted to make suggestions and contributions to improve our service delivery and enhance patient care.
