GP Partner – Parkway Medical Centre – Middlesbrough

6-8 sessions

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the partnership team at Parkway Medical Centre, located in Coulby Newham. We are a highly respected training practice, providing healthcare to an increasing list size of approximately 9300 patients and we use Emis Web as our clinical system.

The 5 partners are looking for a highly motivated innovative individual who shares our values of providing the highest quality patient care in a supportive and friendly working environment. You will be well supported by the existing partnership whether new to partnership or experienced. We will encourage any newly qualified GP who joins us to also apply for the Tees Valley GP Fellowship Scheme and welcome applications from those who are due to gain their CCT.

We train GP trainees and medical students from all years as well as nurses and, because the vacancy has arisen due to the planned retirement of one of our GP trainers, we would expect the new partner to either be an existing trainer or enrol on the next available Intending Trainers Course.

Team communication is a priority for us and the clinical staff meet several times a week to discuss cases and organisational issues and we hold a monthly 2-hour educational meeting.

We score highly for QOF and have some of the highest patient satisfaction scores locally. We operate a GP triage system which is managed by a GP daily. We do 15-minute appointments with a mix of face to face and telephone consultations.

We have modern purpose-built premises and in 2022 extended the practice to accommodate the increasing list size and numbers of attached staff such as pharmacists, mental health nurses, IRIS domestic abuse Specialist advocate and

the PCN Care Home Team, a First Contact Physiotherapy Practitioner and Social Prescribers.

The clinical team is currently made up of 5 GP partners, 1 salaried GP, 1 ACP, 3 Practice nurses, 1 Nurse Associate, 1 Nurse Associate in Training and an Advanced Healthcare Practitioner all supported by a highly experienced Management, Administration and Reception team.

Informal visits and discussion with one of the partners encouraged.

Please apply with CV and covering letter stating why you think you are the right candidate for this role to Catrina Lowe – catrina.lowe@nhs.net (Practice Manager)
