Wetmore Road Surgery has an exciting opportunity to join our friendly, hardworking and patient-focused practice within the Staffordshire town of Burton on Trent. We are looking for a team player with the enthusiasm to make a difference to primary care.
Wetmore Road Surgery is a training practice and currently has 6 Partners, 5 Salaried GPs, 2 ANPs, 1 Physicians Associate, 2 Pharmacists, 5 Practice Nurses, 1 Nurse Associate, 1 HCA, and 2 Community Support Nurses. The practice also benefits from an attached community midwife, social prescriber, counsellor, community matron and care coordinator. The entire clinical team is supported by an excellent Management team and fully staffed admin and reception teams allowing us to provide excellent patient care.
To complement our team, we are looking for a GP to join us for 4 to 8 sessions per week as a Salaried GP with a view to Partnership.
Our clinical setup is different from many other surgeries, and our Supporting GP role takes away many of the additional administration tasks such as Docman and script signing, to allow our other GPs to focus on direct patient care. As we have 2 excellent ANPs, we allow our GPs more time to deal with those patients who have more complex issues.
We understand that everyone needs to maintain their wellbeing, and our aim is that you always leave on time, after having a fulfilling day supporting our patients.
Keen to know more? Please give us a call on 01283 560450.
