GP Vacancy
We are a growing single-handed practice offering same-day appointments every morning with very high patient satisfaction. We have a loyal staff including a nurse prescriber and fully trained healthcare assistant who work hard to manage the day's work. We have systems for monitoring our workflows as well as audits of cancer diagnosis since 2012 and prescribing safety.
Our morning open access surgeries - come in on the day and be seen - gives flexibility over appointment times, allowing us to work on what needs doing instead of being in a rush because of the next appointment. We are working with the patient when he or she believes they need a professional opinion, with as little frustration as possible.
Our consultation rate is low as we try and deal with everything on the day, within reason. Because patients can see we are busy, they make best use of their time with us.
Patients' use of out of hours services is lower than it might be because some prefer to see a doctor they know the following morning.
Patients appreciate the continuity of care here which is being re-discovered as having better health outcomes for patients across all specialities studied, including general practice. I think it is also quite educational to see the outcome of one's work.
If this sounds like a rewarding style of practice to explore further, we would like to hear from you. With a list of over 2300, my aim would be for the practice to support 3 GPs each working 2/3 time without the need for too much locum cover, with around 3200 patients, allowing GPs to teach, research or have time off!
