As a result of Maternity, we now have an opportunity for someone passionate about patient care to join our friendly and supportive practice on a Fixed-Term basis. Ideally, you will have either an established area of interest (such as training, research, or a clinical specialty), or a desire to develop an area of specialist interest in the future. We try to be as paper-light as possible and use System One as our clinical system. Visiting is also relatively light as a result of our ANP Community Care Coordinator, who provides excellent care to both our housebound and care home patients. We believe in and encourage an ethos of hard work together with a healthy work-life balance.
