Summary
Willaston Surgery is seeking to appoint a part-time salaried General Practitioner to join our team of three salaried GPs for one session per week on Monday afternoons. We are a small, supportive team caring for a patient list of approximately 5,400.
Within the contract, GPs are provided with 4 hours of CPD time per week (pro rata) during which there are opportunities for professional development, audits, service transformation and more. There are opportunities within the surgery to take a lead role (e.g. PCN, safeguarding, prescribing, sepsis lead). Your clinical supervision will be provided by our Clinical Director Dr Rajan Rajesh, who also works as a GP within Westminster Surgery. Peer supervision with medical colleagues within CWP’s two other GP Surgeries is also available and encouraged.
Based in Ellesmere Port, we have a practice population of 3,400 and are an active member of One Ellesmere Port PCN, together with 5 other local surgeries. Our practice team comprises an advanced clinical practitioner, practice nurse, HCA, clinical pharmacist, mental health worker and we are well supported by our experienced admin team. We work closely with our community care team and hold regular MDT meetings. As part of CWP, we are supported by our safeguarding and medicines management teams, mental health colleagues and children, young people and families colleagues.
