R Health Primary Care Network is seeking enthusiastic, forward-thinking GPs to join our team on a fixed-term salaried contract of 6 months with a view to extend when the PCN has further clarity on funding.
This is an exciting opportunity for a GP already qualified to fit contraceptive implants and coils to expand their interest in women's health, or if not already qualified you will be supported to undertake the necessary training and further develop your knowledge and skills, supported by experienced GPs across the network to provide LARC fitting as part of your role.

The PCN consists of 6 practices and covers a population of just over 67,000 patients. Each GP will be aligned to 2/3 practices and will be offered mentorship and development within those practices as well as the support from GPHC as the employing organisation.
