This is an exciting opportunity for a newly qualified salaried GP role to experience and deliver a wide variety of primary care clinical work. We are looking for GPs to work within the Enhanced Access hub, with the opportunity of working in a local GP practice and care homes in Southwark depending on service needs.

About us
Fourteen practices in North Southwark have come together as Quay Health Solutions (QHS) Community Interest Company to jointly deliver services that improve outcomes for our 205k registered patients. As a GP Federation, QHS provides the building blocks for at scale service delivery and wider system integration through neighbourhoods that are the delivery units of North Southwark Primary Care Network (NSPCN) and our integrated Borough based system. These bring together local health and care organisations (including social care, the voluntary sector and patient groups) to work collaboratively to deliver more joined up, patient-centred services.
QHS has been appointed by North Southwark PCN to deliver Enhanced Access Service to the North Southwark population seven days a week. This service was initially designed to provide additional capacity for member practices catering acute presentations; however, over the recent years, we expanded to incorporate some routine primary care services to support local needs.
Quay Health Solutions does not hold a VISA Sponsorship Licence.
