Salaried GP - North Cumbria Primary Care

NCPC are looking for motivated, passionate GPs to join us and lead a new model of primary care, with no financial risk, business ownership, or employer responsibilities.

Our Salaried GPs work closely with our team of Salaried Partners, ANP’s Practice Nurses and Pharmacists to deliver care in one of our seven different Practices. There are roles for experienced GPs, on the national retention scheme and for newly qualified practitioners the GP Fellowship scheme offers support for those wishing to develop their leadership or clinical portfolio. We work closely with UCLAN and support their MBBS and Physician Associate studies courses, so there is the opportunity to develop teaching skills with us too.

Salaries are fixed annually and surpluses are returned into patient services or staff welfare and development activity.

Recruitment Incentives (paid pro rata, discretionary)

Experienced GPs: A £20,000 recruitment bonus for experienced GPs joining us.

Newly Qualified GPs: A recruitment bonus of £10,000 for GPs joining us together with the national fellowship scheme.

GP Trainers: A recruitment bonus of £5,000 for established GP trainers in addition to the recruitment bonus

Main duties of the job

As a salaried GP you will manage and deal with a wide range of health needs in a primary care setting, ensuring the highest standards of care for all registered and temporary patients. In general the post-holder will be expected to undertake all the normal duties and responsibilities associated with a GP working within primary care.

As a GP you will recognise the importance of great communication within the team and will strive to:

· Communicate effectively with patients and carers

· Communicate effectively with other team members

· Recognise people’s needs for alternative methods of communication and respond accordingly
