Our patient population:
We care for a diverse, inner-city population with a wide range of health and social needs. Whilst younger than average, many patients have complex, multi-morbidity and a significant proportion require interpreters. We also serve a community experiencing high levels of deprivation, which makes our work both challenging and deeply rewarding. We are open and honest about these realities, and we believe that with the right team support and structures in place, our GPs are able to deliver excellent care.
Who we’re looking for:
We are seeking someone who shares our vision of what a highly performing practice can provide. You will be driven, committed and excited to join a cohesive, mutually supportive team, which delivers personalised high-quality care to our local diverse population.
Please note: due to the fixed-term nature of this maternity locum role, it is not suitable for GPs who have not previously held a salaried GP post.
