GP Partner/ Salaried GP with a view to partnership

Situated in the heart of the rolling countryside on the Devon/Somerset border, The Blackdown Practice, midway between Devon and Exeter, is a thriving popular surgery and a great place to work – a high earning practice with outstanding CQC rating, close to two national parks, the sea and great schools. We are looking for an enthusiastic new doctor to join our well established and dedicated team, 4-7 sessions per week.

The Blackdown Practice is situated in the village of Hemyock with branch sites in the villages of Churchinford and Dunkeswell. We are a 7 Partner PMS teaching practice caring for 8,265 patients with a varied demographic in a mainly rural setting. We are a dispensing practice offering dispensary services from all three sites. Our doctors are supported by a dedicated team of nurses, admin staff and managers. We have a strong team of allied health professionals including paramedic, pharmacist team, social prescribers, first contact physiotherapists and a mental health practitioner. We are a teaching practice who regularly have registrars in the practice and if training is of interest to you, there would be scope to become a trainer. Due to the combined efforts of our excellent clinical and admin teams we achieve high QOF targets and were rated ‘outstanding’ by CQC in our last inspection.

We work in alliance with other practices in the area and play an active part in the Culm Valley PCN. We utilise Emis, ardens and accurx to support our practice & patients. The wellbeing of our staff is of the utmost importance and a good work life balance is something that, as a partnership, we value highly. Team meetings are held regularly, and our practice environment has been designed to encourage contact and support within and across all staff groups. Mentorship and support for newly qualified doctors would be available. We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic GP to join our team who has the commitment and passion to drive efficiencies and quality of care for our patients. Ideally, we are seeking a GP Partner but would also consider a salaried role. If you are interested and keen to learn more, please get in touch – we’d love to hear from you.
