Come and join our exceptional and thriving practice in the heart of Somerset in the historic and lively town of Glastonbury.
We are a seven partner team and have a vacancy for a 4 - 6 session salaried GP, with the opportunity for future partnership.

We are a training practice for both GP registrars and medical students, and regularly receive excellent feedback from these posts, and several of our ex-trainees are now partners.

Main duties of the job
The post-holder will provide high quality general medical services to a personalised list of patients and work as part of the practice team to manage a range of health needs in a purpose built and modern primary care setting, ensuring the continuous delivery of the highest standards of care.

About us
We are a stable, supportive and very friendly training practice that has retained its family and patient-first ethos. We work from purpose-built premises that has been recently extended, in a colourful market town offering semi-rural primary care.
The practice is very successful and has a good reputation amongst the GP community both externally and internally as evidenced by strong staff retention.
We care for a registered population size of 14,000 served by 11 GPs, GP Registrars, Nurse Practitioners and a paramedic, a team of Practice Nurses and HCAs, physiotherapists, administrative, secretarial and reception.
Caring for the population of Glastonbury, Street and the surrounding villages offers a unique opportunity to connect with a diverse population that is passionate for the town and its rich history and culture. By offering a person centred and continuity of care approach, we can demonstrate quality outcomes, as defined by QOF, whilst also respecting the views and beliefs of the local community.
We undertake a formal and regular business planning cycle to ensure that we effectively manage the rapidly changing environment we are in, optimising opportunities for the practice and have a track record of innovation.
