Salaried GP (Partnership potential)

Background

This is a practice that has invested in making general practice feel manageable again. A structured working day with a 5.30pm finish, a reasonable appointment load with built-in catch-up time, a GP assistant model that genuinely reduces the non-clinical burden, and an AI triage system launching imminently to ease duty doctor demand. The result is a team where GPs arrive and stay: tenures of between five and thirteen years are the norm, not the exception.

Location

The Practice is based in North-West Shropshire, close to the Welsh border. Shrewsbury is around 20 minutes by road, Wrexham approximately 20 minutes to the north, and Chester around 45 minutes. The area offers affordable living and easy access to open countryside.

The Practice

• GP Training Practice, currently hosting GP registrars
• Dispensing practice to circa 30% of their patient population
• AI-assisted triage model launching imminently, pre-triaging online requests and significantly reducing duty doctor workload
• GP assistant job share in place, taking non-clinical tasks away from GPs and transforming the day-to-day experience
• Daily clinical huddle at noon involving the whole clinical team: GPs, nurses, pharmacist and a member from every team. Genuinely close-knit and inclusive culture
• Strong, stable partnership team: Partner tenures of between five and thirteen years
• Small practice with a pooled list, predominantly older rural patients: described as a manageable, non-complex population
• Single-site practice with on-site parking. Uses EMIS Web

• Extended hours participation: approximately one evening session in six weeks (rotated across the GP team), paid at £90 per hour. Saturday morning sessions are voluntary
• Duty doctor responsibilities are shared across the team, with AI triage reducing the number of online requests requiring personal GP review from July 2025
