Network GP

Poole North Primary Care Network

Closing date: 22nd October 2024

Poole North Primary Care Network, a network of 4 GP practices working to provide additional resources and services for our 52,000 patients are seeking a newly qualified (newly qualified being someone who is under two years post registration in their careers) to join our teams for an initial six month contract with a view to extending this to a permanent role.

Announced in Sept 2024, the Government is committed to bringing newly qualified GPs into Primary Care Networks and our PCN, always at the forefront of new developments are seeking a new colleague to join us, expanding our network workforce and giving additional access and support to our patients.

Across the network we have dedicated teams of Advance Nurse Practitioners, MSK Practitioners, Social Prescribers, Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians and Mental Health Practitioner colleagues but our ethos is to embed colleagues in our practices where you will be working alongside clinicians and practice teams in our friendly and supportive teams.

Main duties of the job

As a Network GP you will be the first point of contact for our acute patients who need a GP’s input to ensure their physical wellbeing.

The role encompasses everything a GP would expect to undertake, from referrals, ordering of investigations, examinations, liaising with colleagues in community and secondary care but without the added burden of a patient list.

Overview of your organisation

Poole North Primary Care Network works together to ensure patients obtain the care they need when they need it. Through utilising our clinical system and bringing in additional colleagues to support the day to needs of our patients we have built a truly multi-disciplinary team across our four practices.

The PCN is headed by a committed and experienced senior team and we like to ensure a nurturing and friendly environment for all our colleagues.

Our recent PCN staff survey showed we are a great place to work and we are proud to have been able to bring additional services and support not only to our patients but to our clinicians.
