GP Partnership – Worcestershire/Gloucestershire border

The planned retirement of the senior partner in September creates a vacancy for a full-time partner – 7 clinical sessions/1 admin session per week. However, to ensure the right person is joining us, we would consider a 6 or 7 session commitment.

Who we are

The current clinical team consists of two GP partners, 2 salaried GPs, an ANP, an ACP, 3 practice nurses, 2 HCAs, a phlebotomist, and 2 clinical pharmacists.

We have 5,650 patients, with approximately 90% eligible to have their medicines provided by our dispensary.

We are in a purpose-built surgery within the village of Bredon, with beautiful rural views and ample parking. Although we are a South Worcestershire practice, part of our area falls within Gloucestershire – we are just 4 miles from the historic town of Tewkesbury. This gives our patients the benefit of being able to access services at Gloucester and Cheltenham hospitals, as well as those in Worcestershire.

We use the EMIS clinical system and increasingly make use of on-line consulting, telephone consultations and text messaging. We allow 15 minutes for face-to-face consultations and 10 minutes for telephone calls – although extended appointments are available if appropriate.

Our rating with the CQC is “Good”.

We are proud to be a Veteran Friendly Practice.

Why Bredon?

We are looking for a new colleague who is interested in all aspects of being a partner in general practice. Being smaller means that everyone in the team has a voice in how we change and develop our services – giving plenty of scope for individuals to focus on areas that have a particular interest in.

To assist with this, there would be access to the excellent local “Partnership Development Programme” which provides remote learning sessions, covering a range of non-clinical skills, and networking opportunities/peer support with other new partners.

Bredon is within easy reach of the Forest of Dean, Cotswolds and Malvern Hills. The M5 motorway gives quick access to the Midlands, the South West and Wales. This is a great area to live for those with families, or anyone wanting to enjoy life in a rural community with easy access to the wider world.

To find out more about us, please contact our Practice Manager, Angela Maile angela.maile@nhs.net. An informal visit or discussion with one of the partners can be arranged prior to application if requested.
