## Job Content

### Job summary

Salaried GP

- Up to £11.6k per session
- 6 sessions per week: Mon, Tues, Thurs

With patient care at the forefront of all that we do, we have recently moved to a triage system to improve patient access. No more crazy 8am rush or telephone lottery for patients, instead we review patients on a needs basis, providing them with the right care, when they need it. For GPs, this refocuses your work on those patients that genuinely need a GP.

### Main duties of the job

The role will involve a variety of face-to-face and telephone appointments and will include appointments to complete ward rounds and home visits.

You will work among a team of like-minded GPs, nurses and HCAs and will be supported by a GP Clinical Lead.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a company that values their people and patients over process, and we would love to hear from you!

### About us

At South Wigston Health Centre we continue to transform and revolutionise the way that we deliver Primary Care services with our patient-first approach.

We have an extensive multi-disciplinary team who are keen to innovate and utilise their varied skillset and we are seeking talented individuals like you to become a part of it!
