Job description

About the Role

Wootton Vale Healthy Living Centre & Shortstown Surgery is a forward thinking and innovative practice looking to recruit a salaried GP or partner to join our dynamic team on a full-time or part-time basis and although this is a permanent position, we will consider flexible contract options.  

We are a friendly surgery with a list size of 15,000 patients, over two sites, Wootton Vale, (MK43 9JJ), and branch site Shortstown Surgery, (MK42 0GS).  We have good appointment access, which means happy patients, and a strong teamwork ethos that includes an established clinical pharmacy team, GPs, nurses, physician associates, & a clinical liaison team, who look after the clinical staff.  We are also a tier-2 sponsoring practice and would support any applicants requiring a tier 2 visa.

We embrace new ways of working and welcome ideas to change the way our clinicians work, to bring more variety into their days. We work closely with our local commissioners and enjoy taking part in pilot projects and we would support any applicants to take part in these depending on their area of interest. We pride ourselves on having good patient access figures and our two sites have very different patient demographics and levels of deprivation, which leads to an interesting clinical challenge.  

About the Candidate

We welcome GPs to join our dynamic team and make a meaningful impact on the health and well-being of our patients.

If you would like more information or just an initial discussion, please don’t hesitate to contact Richie Short (business manager) at: richard.short@nhs.netor on +44 (0) 1234 762500.

About Us

We are fully committed to supporting our staff to develop in their careers and, as such, we maintain a close partnership with the Bedfordshire, Luton, and Milton Keynes training hub. Our aim is to provide comprehensive training and development opportunities to our staff, fostering their growth within the NHS primary care community. Through this collaboration, we offer a diverse range of accessible training and development options, including:

• Individualised coaching sessions
• Health and well-being benefits, including funded access to the ShinyMind app, which offers daily support for well-being and resilience
• We are finalising our application to become a training practice which means that we will be able to support GP trainees in the future and would support applicants interested in GP education to become a GP trainer
• Support from the training hub GP workforce leads
• Newly qualified GPs (within one year of CCT completion) will be supported to join the training hub’s comprehensive two-year new-to-practice fellowship programme, offering CPD activities, peer support networks, and deeper understanding of general practice and primary care

We also actively encourage portfolio working and would be more than happy to discuss any areas of special interest you may have. Some of the areas of special interest we currently support are:

• One of our GPs is one of the Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board clinical lead
• One GP is on the ICB clinical and prescribing boards
• We are active in IT and technical projects, and our managing partner is on the digital transformation course
• We support gynae/women’s/sexual health including implant fitting and host the hospital outreach gynae service.
