Salaried General Practitioner - Kidwelly

A Salaried GP in a Health Board managed practice plays a key role in delivering high quality, patient centred primary care within a supportive, multidisciplinary environment. You will provide a full range of GP services — from acute same day care to proactive management of long term conditions — ensuring patients receive safe, effective, and compassionate treatment. Working as part of a diverse team of clinicians and supported by dedicated Health Board infrastructure, you will contribute to improved access, continuity of care, and service development at practice and locality level. This role suits a GP who values teamwork, clinical autonomy, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a community setting. You will benefit from robust governance systems, protected time for learning, and strong professional development pathways, with potential to pursue special interests. With the stability of Health Board employment, excellent peer support, and the chance to influence how care is delivered, this is an ideal opportunity for a motivated GP seeking a fulfilling, sustainable role within a forward‑thinking NHS primary care environment.
