Salaried GP

Middlewood operates a personalised list model of care, providing continuity with a named GP when available and appropriate. However, with a service model that includes a robust triage and urgent care system, LTC clinics, specialist clinics, prescribing and recall services, and the skills of a wider MDT including PAs, ANPS, pharmacists, MH practitioners and physios, we focus on the wellbeing on our clinicians as much as that of our patients.

We are looking for GPs who share our vision and who will want to contribute to shaping how we deliver care. This is a 3 session per week post, and offers a unique opportunity to be part of, and contribute to, the development of new ways of working within a forward-thinking and transformed primary care organisation.

The Middlewood Partnership is a group of four practices across a Primary Care Network footprint which was established following a merger in 2019. We have created a modern GP organisation that retains the benefits of family medicine, including continuity, teamwork and support, but with the benefits of working at scale. This includes the ability for GPs to work a one session, one job rota, opportunities to work sessions in at scale services such as prescribing, urgent care, triage, care homes and specialist clinics, and leadership roles where appropriate
