Medical Doctor in Birmingham

Edgbaston Wellness Clinic is expanding its medical and surgical services and is inviting applications from experienced consultant-grade doctors and GPs with established extended roles who wish to develop or expand a high-quality private practice within a professionally governed clinical environment. We are particularly interested in clinicians offering specialist consultations, diagnostic services, minor surgery, procedural medicine and other evidence-based treatments that fall within the clinic’s registered scope.

Who we are seeking

• Consultant doctors who are included on the GMC Specialist Register in the specialty relevant to the services they intend to provide
• GPs who are included on the GMC GP Register and can evidence appropriate additional qualifications, accredited training, competence and experience in an extended clinical or procedural role
• Doctors with established private practice experience or a clear, credible proposal for developing a specialist service
• Clinicians able to work independently while participating fully in clinical governance, audit and multidisciplinary working

Consultant applicants must be included on the relevant GMC Specialist Register. Registration with the GMC alone, without appropriate specialist registration or recognised extended-role credentials, will not be sufficient for consultant-led services.

Potential areas of practice

• Minor surgery and procedural medicine
• Urology and men’s health
• Dermatology and skin surgery
• Women’s health and menopause services
• Musculoskeletal medicine and joint procedures
• Diagnostic and screening services
• Regenerative and evidence-based interventional treatments
• Other specialist outpatient services that are compatible with the clinic’s facilities, governance framework and CQC registration

All proposed treatments must be clinically justified, evidence-based and within the applicant’s demonstrated scope of competence.

The opportunity

Clinicians will have the opportunity to establish or expand their own specialist service while benefiting from:

• Professionally equipped consultation and treatment facilities in Edgbaston
• Administrative and booking support
• Marketing and business-development support
• Clinical assistance where required and agreed
• Established practice systems and governance processes
• Support with patient pathways, documentation and service implementation
• A collaborative environment focused on quality, safety and sustainable growth

The proposed commercial arrangement is a 50:50 income split following deduction of agreed direct consumable and treatment costs. Final arrangements will be confirmed through a formal practising privileges and service agreement.

Professional requirements

• Hold full GMC registration with a current licence to practise
• Be included on the relevant GMC Specialist Register for consultant appointments, or the GMC GP Register for GP appointments
• Hold appropriate qualifications and demonstrable competence for every service offered
• Maintain suitable medical indemnity covering all proposed private work
• Provide evidence of appraisal, revalidation and continuing professional development
• Complete the clinic’s credentialing and practising privileges process
• Participate in clinical audit, incident reporting, safeguarding and quality-improvement activity
• Comply with GMC standards, CQC requirements and all clinic policies
• Maintain clear professional boundaries and accurate clinical records
• Demonstrate appropriate arrangements for consent, follow-up, complications and continuity of care

Where a GP is proposing to undertake specialist or procedural work, they must provide clear evidence of their GP with Extended Role credentials, relevant training, supervised experience, ongoing competence and appropriate indemnity.

Our standards

Edgbaston Wellness Clinic is committed to safe, ethical and properly governed private healthcare. Commercial opportunity will never take precedence over clinical appropriateness, informed consent, patient safety or professional accountability. All new services will undergo clinical, regulatory and operational review before launch. Approval will depend on the clinician’s qualifications, experience, scope of competence and the clinic’s ability to deliver the service safely.
