Salaried GP
Dudley Integrated Health and Care NHS Trust
The closing date is 06 June 2022
Job summary
Are you interested in a career with a genuinely integrated care organisation? Do you want to be part of a new organisation that is developing pathways and services to transform the way that care is delivered locally? Are you interested in improving the health of our local population? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, then we are looking for you.
Dudley Integrated Health and Care NHS Trust (DIHC) is the first Integrated Care Provider in the country. It was launched in April 2020 following a period of development and integrates primary care with community services within the Dudley healthcare system. Our core aim is Dudley First, community where possible and hospital where necessary, and our purpose is to improve the health and wellbeing of our local population in Dudley.
High Oak Surgery serves a practice population of approximately 4000 patients, mainly within the Pensnett and Brierley Hill areas of the Dudley borough, and is currently located within Brierley Hill Health and Social Care Centre, a modern purpose built building. Chapel Street Surgery serves a list of around 2500 patients in the multi-ethnic community of Lye.
Both sites are traditional surgeries: friendly practices with great staff morale and a pleasant working environment. The workload is busy but manageable with structured admin time, limited extra patients and defined on call duties. We have very low home visit rates and minimal care home residents.

DIHC is committed to embracing diversity and we recognise the need to ensure our workforce is representative of the communities we serve to enable us to achieve our purpose and commitments.

We are embedding values based and inclusive recruitment practices to ensure that all applicants, from any backgrounds, have an equal chance of success in achieving a role with us.
Anyone that works with us will share in our commitments and promote and uphold them throughout their daily activities.

Job responsibilities
Please view the attached job description and person specification for more specific information about this post.
As a new forward thinking organisation we have developed a set of GP Salary scales that promote fairness and equity as well as providing a structured progression for our GPs.
We are an APMS practice serving about 4500 patients working from Brierley Hill in Dudley.
COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course our patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings. Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not a condition of employment at this time, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated. We will be checking the vaccination status of all new starters so that we can manage individual and environmental risks, and so that we can support those who may be undecided about vaccination. If you are unvaccinated there is helpful advice and information at https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/ where you can also find out more about how to access vaccinations.
