Working as part of a diverse team of clinicians and supported by dedicated Health Board infrastructure, you’ll contribute to improved access, continuity of care, and service development at practice and locality level.

This role suits a GP who values teamwork, clinical autonomy, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a community setting. You will benefit from robust governance systems, protected time for learning, and strong professional development pathways, with potential to pursue special interests. With the stability of Health Board employment, excellent peer support, and the chance to influence how care is delivered, this is an ideal opportunity for a motivated GP seeking a fulfilling, sustainable role within a forward thinking NHS primary care environment.

Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you will collaborate closely with nurses, pharmacists, advanced practitioners, mental health professionals and community services to deliver coordinated, proactive care. You will contribute to MDT meetings, safeguarding responsibilities and continuity of care for vulnerable or complex patients.

The role also involves participating in governance and quality activities, including clinical audit, significant event reviews, QAIF delivery and service improvement initiatives.
