Salaried GP

The practice is split between two surgeries, one in Newport and one in Muxton, which has recently been extended and updated.

The working day is primarily face-to-face consultations, both prebooked and on the day, with clinician autonomy on the way their day is structured. A session consists of 13x 15 minute appointments.

We are a total triage practice, utilising GP triage for all requests on the AccuRx platform, supported by an excellent triage support team within a dedicated triage hub. This has given us fantastic responsiveness to clinical need, with patients seeing the right person at the right time. 60% of patients are seen on the day, and all within 2 weeks.

We utilise EMIS, Docman 10 and AccuRx, with an emphasis on fair and reasonable admin requirements. Admin is supported by a team of GP assistants and an excellent secretarial and admin team.

We have a low burden of home visits and you are not required to see any extras when working a routine session.

The role will consist of one duty triage session per week, with occasional annual leave cover.

The role of GP is well supported with additional healthcare staff including clinical pharmacist, first contact physiotherapist, advanced nurse practitioner, paramedics, social prescribers, mental health practitioner, and a full team of nurses and healthcare assistants.

We are a training practice, with three trainers, one of whom is also a TPD. All GP staff are involved in supervision of trainees with allocated time to do so.

Working as an autonomous practitioner in delivery of excellent levels of medical care to the practice population, in line with the GMS contract, and adhering to the standards set out in the GMC Good Medical Practice. You will also be an important member of the multidisciplinary team helping to foster a positive collaborative working environment and aiding with the effective management of the practice.

Linden Hall Surgery is based across two sites in the Shropshire market town of Newport, and the smaller suburb of Muxton, both north of Telford. The surgery currently has a a list size of 16500 patients and continues to grow.

The surgery consists of a close-knit team of 4 partners and 6 salaried GPs, alongside an expanding team of PCN ARRS members currently including a First Contact Physiotherapist, Primary Care Paramedics, Clinical Pharmacist, Pharmacy Technicians, Social Prescriber, Mental Health Practitioner, and Age UK Link Worker.

The surgery is a training practice with three trainers and regular GP VTS and FY2 placements and is highly regarded in this capacity. We always welcome new ideas and innovation, and support all doctors to be involved with practice development if they wish.

Whole surgery social activities are regularly arranged in addition to clinical meetings.
