Bank Salaried GP in Lichfield

As a large practice, we are looking for an enthusiastic Salaried GP to work as a Bank Salaried GP, helping to backfill absences or support periods of high demand. We are a friendly, well-organised, GMS Practice with high QOF scores and a good CQC rating. The Practice has 7 Partners and 10 Salaried GPs along with Advanced Care Practitioners, an urgent care team including Nurse Practitioners, Primary Care Practitioners, a Mental Health Nurse and a pharmacy team of Clinical Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians. We work across 3 branches, providing care for over 24,000 and use EMIS Web, EPS, Docman10 and Accurx.

• The rota is arranged so that one GP is on call each morning and afternoon.
• A second GP is primarily responsible for visits each morning.
• Patients are given a choice of selecting face-to-face or telephone at the time that they book their appointment.

About us: Although we are a large team of over 100 staff working across 3 sites, the Partners consider it important to maintain a supportive team ethos.
