Clinical Practice for 4 sessions a week at the surgery, where the successful candidate would work with the Partners to offer face to face and telephone consultations, home visits and complete administrative work arising, with the opportunity to develop a specialist clinical interest of choice if desired, with an allocated GP Partner mentor for ongoing support.
 

Bridge Road Medical Centre offers:

• Medical indemnity fees covered on group practice policy for clinical sessions worked

Part 3.

• Health Education England will fund 2 sessions per week of protected education and training time to undertake personal development, education and training.  It is intended that an academic underpinning will frame the programme and provide robust governance and quality assurance.  This may involve completion of a Postgraduate Certificate.
