Job Details

We are looking for another list holding salaried GP to join our friendly, supportive and forward-thinking team. We are a team focused on maintaining a sustainable and enjoyable work environment. We strongly believe that fostering and maintaining a positive ethos and shared vision leads to high quality patient care.
 
We are committed to finding the right person for this role and are flexible regarding sessions/days worked, encouraging professional development. 

We have GPs on the LMC, the Southern Primary Care Collaborative Board and Devon Training Hub. One of our GPs has just completed the GP Educational Supervisor’s course so that Mayfield Medical Centre is now a training practice again. Several of our GPs are “First 5”, another is joint Clinical Director of our PCN, Paignton and Brixham Primary Care Network. We provide the hub for Torbay Care Home Visiting Service, which was developed and piloted highly successfully at Mayfield.
This role would be equally attractive for a GP that has recently completed their training (and is therefore eligible for a NTP Fellowship), as well as for more experienced GPs.
 
We are passionate about advancing Primary Care to meet the current and future challenges; we want not only to be resilient and sustainable whilst providing high quality care, we want Primary Care to be enjoyable and vibrant. 
We are currently embracing change, adapting and evolving through the Covid-19 Pandemic with patients being managed through telephone and video consultations along with e-Consult. Patients are seen face-to-face where these tools are not appropriate. 
 
A typical “pre-Covid-19” session consisted of 14 face-to-face appointments with a mixture of 15 minute routine slots and on-the-day triaged appointments. Duty surgeries are carried out in pairs. Our Paramedics undertake the vast majority of the home visits and our prescribing Pharmacist team manages medication queries and reviews, along with repeat prescriptions. We aim to finish daily by 6pm.
 
We meet daily for coffee breaks and operate an ‘open doors’ policy. There are regular educational meetings and socials throughout the year.

Company

NHS Devon is the local headquarters for the NHS in Devon, Plymouth and Torbay.

We are the organisation responsible for planning, commissioning (or buying) and developing healthcare services for the 1.2 million people who live in Devon.

Our mission is to work together to commission the right services to improve the lives of those who live in Devon.

NHS Devon – the fifth largest Integrated Care Board (ICB) in England – includes the cities of Plymouth and Exeter, more than 45 market towns and large towns such as Torquay – a mix of both rural and urban and several hundred parishes. 

Our aim is to improve people’s lives in Devon – wherever they live – to reduce health inequalities and make sure we can deliver these services for the long term.

Within our budget of £1.8 billion, we plan and buy the majority of the hospital and community NHS services for the county.

Living and working in Devon

If you are looking to build your career as a GP, work within local communities and have an opportunity to design your own role – the West Country offers it all.  An area with stunning cities and remote rural landscapes, working in the West Country offers doctors a variety of stimulating challenges. You can design your own job to suit your career and lifestyle ambitions.

The South West has rail and motorway links, as well as two international airports serving many destinations within the UK, Europe and further afield, celebrated state and private schools in every county and Universities and HE colleges throughout the region. 

We would like to welcome you to join our committed team and we will support you in every way to make your move here a smooth one. GPs are the bedrock of healthcare in England and the foundation of the NHS. 

Devon covers almost 7000km2, has two National Parks and a third of the county is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We think that gives you an idea of what to expect. It also has 450 miles of stunning coastline and family-friendly beaches as well as beautiful coastal towns. 

The capital city of Exeter, with its cobbled streets and squares, is dotted with art galleries, restaurants and boutique shops. There’s also the magnificent cathedral and a flourishing arts scene, typified by the Phoenix Arts Centre.
