General Practitioner - Court House Medical Centre

Job description

Job responsibilities

The Courthouse Practice is a five-partner General Practice within the National Health Service and is situated in Caerphilly. We have approximately 10,600 patients. The practice started in the old Courthouse near to Caerphilly Castle at the commencement of the National Health Service in 1947. Early in 2004 we moved to our existing state-of-the-art premises where we can offer the very best of health care. Our friendly team of motivated and enthusiastic Doctors are eager to nurture the new team member in a bid to help them gain a wide range of experience in dealing with the surgerys population. We encourage the Doctors to meet up each afternoon for tea/coffee and a general catch up. This gives the team an opportunity to communicate, discuss cases and work through any issues that occur.

We have an active Primary Health Care Team including a Prescribing Nurse Practitioner, Minor Illness Nurse, Salaried GP, 3 Practice Nurses and 3 Health Care Assistants. We hold regular Chronic Disease Clinics, Contraception Clinics and Minor Surgery Clinics. We have regular Palliative Care Meetings with Specialists and District Nurses and meet with the Health Visiting Team regarding Safeguarding. Our experienced and friendly administration team consists of 17 members of staff. A dedicated Midwife is in practice on a Friday and holds Ante-Natal Clinics. And since the pandemic, the Practice participates in the Covid Vaccination Programme.

We are excited to welcome a new GP to the team. Being a strong team member is paramount at Courthouse. We pride ourselves on being a welcoming practice and ensure every new member of staff feels comfortable. The partners are keen to build a strong relationship with a dedicated individual who is hoping to stay with the team long-term. They are willing to put time and effort in to helping you create a workload that will enable you to build a rapport with your patients. Having a solid relationship with patients in primary care is pivotal and we believe this can only be achieved with time and dedication. We look forward to meeting successful candidates at interview.
