GP Salaried Position - DOWNTON ROAD SURGERY

4-8 sessions per week

Due to the retirement of a partner, we are looking for a salaried GP to join our close-knit team at Downton Road Surgery from September 2024.   We are a well organised, well regarded training practice in South Bristol, with a strong presence in our PCN and with well established links in our community.

Downton Road Surgery was forged in January 2024 following the merger of the Crest and Merrywood practices within the William Budd Health Centre in Knowle West.  We serve a population of 14,500 patients in a deprived but supportive suburban area.

Our team is made up of 14 GPs, 2 ANPs, 2 First Contact Physios, a mental health worker and 3 Clinical Pharmacists, alongside nurses and HCAs in our treatment room.  We also have a highly trained administrative support team meaning administrative workload is low volume and efficient for clinical staff.

Utilising 15 minute appointments we see 11 patients per morning and afternoon session, with up to 4 phone calls in between.  Home visits are low in number and are handled mainly by our excellent ANP team.  There is team coffee time each morning and an hour of dedicated administrative time every afternoon.

We place a high value on Education, with 3 Educational supervisors working in the practice.  We are proud to train medical students through the year, in addition to our GPST trainees and F2 doctors.                                    2 of our GPs currently hold Health Inequalities Fellowships with the University of Bristol.

Above all, we recognise that high quality patient care comes from happy and motivated staff and this is reflected in both our historically excellent patient survey feedback and our very low levels of staff turnover.  We are proud to be a happy and stimulating place to work.

If you would like to make an informal visit to see our practice, which we would encourage, please contact our Business Partner, Marie King on marie.king1@nhs.net. 

If you would like to apply please send a CV and covering letter to marie.king1@nhs.net
