Job summaryGeneral practice, but better designed.
A fixed-term role. A proper clinical home.
Great Barr Medical Centre is looking for a salaried GP to join our team on a fixed-term basis until 31 March 2027.
We are particularly interested in hearing from GPs with a strong interest, experience or additional qualification in womens health.
This could include contraception, menopause, menstrual disorders, reproductive health, antenatal and postnatal care, sexual health or general gynaecology in primary care.
A relevant qualification such as DRCOG, DCSRH or DFSRH, a recognised menopause qualification, or current contraception procedure competencies would be highly desirable. However, we are equally interested in candidates who can demonstrate meaningful practical experience and a clear interest in developing this area.
What your working week may includeYour agreed job plan will include an appropriate balance of:
- face-to-face consultations;
- telephone and online consultations;
- clinically led triage;
- same-day urgent care;
- planned general practice appointments;
- continuity for complex and vulnerable patients;
- clinical administration arising from your work;
- multidisciplinary discussion;
- clinical meetings; and
- quality improvement or service-development activity.
Main duties of the jobWe are not recruiting another appointment machineWe want a GP who believes that good general practice should involve more than working through an undifferentiated list and hoping the system holds together around them.
At Great Barr Medical Centre, we have redesigned our access, workforce and administrative models to make sure:
- clinically urgent patients receive timely assessment;
- routine work is planned rather than squeezed into gaps;
- patients who need continuity receive it;
- work is directed to the right professional;
- avoidable administrative work does not automatically fall to a GP; and
- clinicians have a meaningful voice in how the practice develops.
Our model combines clinically led triage, planned routine care, continuity, digital access, telephone and face-to-face consultations, structured workflow and multidisciplinary working.
About usOne practice. One team.
You will be based at Great Barr Medical Centre and work alongside:
- GP Partners and salaried clinicians;
- an advanced nurse practitioner;
- a paramedic;
- In-house pharmacy team
- practice nurses
- a developing multidisciplinary team; and
- an established administrative and workflow team.
We use SystmOne and AccuRx practice, and believe in constantly developing our healthcare offer to better our patients experience.
