Main duties of the job

Hopefully by now you understand the role of a GP, so what is different about Quayside?

• By far our greatest asset is our friendly and supportive working environment. All levels of staff offer an open-door policy and are available for support.
• We do not believe in ‘Duty Doctor’ days, a well-run practice does not require this old-fashioned system.
• Quayside has a team of pharmaceutical prescribers which means clinicians don’t need to process repeat medication. This not only reduces workload but reduces risk as poor medicines management is one of the leading areas of doctor complaints.
• We are a Teaching Hub and currently have PA students, FY2s and GPST doctors. If this interests you we will support you through clinical supervision training, or any other development you wish to take on
• Our administrative staff are trained to reduce unnecessary GP workload.
• We are situated in a purpose-built health centre.
• We believe in innovation and are always striving to make our care processes as streamlined and robust as possible.
• Oldham has an active First 5 network for those that are newly qualified GPs.

We are situated in a purpose-built health centre, with secure staff parking, and easy to access commuter routes.
