Job Summary
A Salaried GP in a Health Board managed practice plays a key role in delivering high quality, patient centred primary care within a supportive, multidisciplinary environment. You'll provide a full range of GP services — from acute same day care to proactive management of long term conditions — ensuring patients receive safe, effective, and compassionate treatment. Working as part of a diverse team of clinicians and supported by dedicated Health Board infrastructure, you'll contribute to improved access, continuity of care, and service development at practice and locality level. This role suits a GP who values teamwork, clinical autonomy, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a community setting. You will benefit from robust governance systems, protected time for learning, and strong professional development pathways, with potential to pursue special interests. With the stability of Health Board employment, excellent peer support, and the chance to influence how care is delivered, this is an ideal opportunity for a motivated GP seeking a fulfilling, sustainable role within a forward‑thinking NHS primary care environment.
Main Duties
The main duties of the role include delivering high quality, patient centred clinical care across a full range of primary care services. You will provide consultations through face to face, telephone and digital appointments, assessing, diagnosing and managing both acute presentations and long term conditions. A key part of the role is contributing to safe, timely same day care through participation in duty doctor and triage rotas. You'll initiate and review treatment plans, request and interpret investigations, and ensure appropriate follow up for patients with ongoing needs. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you will collaborate closely with nurses, pharmacists, advanced practitioners, mental health professionals and community services to deliver coordinated, proactive care. You will contribute to MDT meetings, safeguarding responsibilities and continuity of care for vulnerable or complex patients. The role also involves participating in governance and quality activities, including clinical audit, significant event reviews, QAIF delivery and service improvement initiatives. You'll maintain accurate clinical records and adhere to Health Board protocols, prescribing guidelines and risk management processes. Engagement in professional development, mandatory training and appraisal requirements forms an essential part of the position, supporting continuous improvement in clinical practice.
