  • Access funded training opportunities, including injection therapy and independent prescribing
  • Be part of a fast growing, award winning clinical organisation that puts people first

Please note that the postcode listed in the advert is for reference only. This PCN operates across multiple GP practices, offering flexibility in work location.
