An exciting opportunity has arisen for newly qualified General Practitioners to join Shrewsbury PCN. We are a dynamic, and forward thinking PCN, who are passionate about developing and delivering excellent quality local services to meet the needs of our patients.

You will have a tailored and supportive induction to our PCN and member practices, all training and supervision requirements will be met and you will be working as part of an engaged and motivated workforce.
