About us This is an exciting opportunity to join a dedicated and elite team. We are based near the Mendip Hills, an area that offers an unrivalled quality of life while being an easy commute from Bristol and having great road links to Exeter, Taunton, Bath and London with Bristol international airport 9 miles away. There are excellent local schools in our area.
A high standard of patient care, with good patient access and continuity is our utmost priority, together with the work-life balance of our GPs and staff. We are a supportive team that looks constantly to how we can improve, develop and grow. We are early/lead adopters of new projects and frequently take part in pre-run activities/trial projects. We were one of the first Practices to help develop BRAVE (AI technology) to aid the identification of individuals who are at risk of going to hospital to enable us to develop a personalised care and support plan.
We offer continuity of care for our patients whilst ensuring protected time for GP administration, CPD, MDTs and team interactions. We are committed to safeguarding our patients and vulnerable people.
This is a chance for a like-minded individual to join us in making our excellent service available to the wider community in Axbridge and Wedmore and the surrounding rural area, while only being 15 miles from the vibrant city of Bristol.
