Introduction to the post

Due to the success of these posts, we are now recruiting an additional GP Teaching Fellow to our friendly and supportive practice. These innovative and dynamic posts will blend undergraduate teaching and General Practice.

There will be opportunities for academic scholarship and research if desired. We offer a nurturing environment for both experienced GPs or those just finishing training, therefore this post would be suitable for an established educator or ideal for those completing training with a passion for education.
