GP - Salaried GP

Job summary

Our approach is innovative and forward-looking, and dedicated to excellent clinical outcomes.

We want you to be able to do the best work of your career, confident in your care and proud of the outcomes you achieve for your patients. We work hard to ensure that our GPs are motivated and engaged in contributing to a supportive culture of mutual learning. Mereside practices are well-regarded for GP, student and nurse training. We enjoy weekly clinical meetings, quarterly half day closures, and daily coffee meetings for clinical discussions and case sharing.

We are purposeful in our efforts to manage GP workload and ensure sustainability, having developed a diverse and large team of support staff over recent years. Admin teams process letters, enact medication changes, and undertake medication reviews. We have clinical support from a large nursing team and Advanced Practitioner team. The duty team consists of a duty GP supported by Advanced Practitioners and nurses working together in the same room, creating a collaborative, supportive environment in which to manage the on-the-day workload together.

We embrace technology to enable more effective and efficient ways of working. All practices use SystmOne and AskMyGP for managing patient queries, meaning our waiting time for appointments is zero and our accessibility rating is excellent. We use MS Teams to enable regular video meetings across sites and facilitate more rapid collaborative working.

Main duties of the job

You will be part of a supportive team and be responsible for managing your own patient list. Patient first contact is predominantly, but not exclusively, through AskMyGP and we try to ensure an equitable distribution of patient contacts. You will undertake face-to-face appointments and may be called on for other activities such as home visits, health checks, routine reviews, baby checks, medicals or other private reports as applicable to your patient list.

You will be primarily responsible for administrative / paperwork / correspondence / results applicable to your patients but are able to call on the help and assistance of our admin and nursing teams and we actively encourage delegation of activity to those who are best suited to a particular task.

About us

Mereside Medical is a flourishing group of three East Cambridgeshire practices in Ely, Haddenham and Soham. We believe in clinical excellence, and that general practice is the cornerstone of well-being in our community. Our goal is to deliver on the ambitions laid out in the GP forward view in a way that is locally relevant, valued by patients, and satisfying for our staff. We are proud to have been an early adopter of the Covid Vaccination Programme and, together with our Ely Primary Care Network partners, delivered over 100,000 vaccinations to our local communities. As a group, weve grown rapidly and now employ more than 140 people across the three practices.

In addition to our core general practice work we run a large trials unit, are the lead practice for one of the two local PCNs and are represented in both. We work closely with the ICB to develop innovative ways to improve the local service provision.
