Meon Health Practice - Salaried GP

We are looking for an enthusiastic, dynamic GP to add to our brilliant and diverse primary care team of social prescribers, pharmacists, physiotherapists, nurses and healthcare assistants, advanced nurse practitioners, physician associates, care coordinators, salaried GPs, retainer GPs and GP partners.

Meon Health Practice is an innovative and high achieving, but more importantly, friendly and welcoming practice on the western edge of Fareham. We have three sites which sit at the centre of their respective communities, while immediately around us the South Downs (for land-based GPs) or the Solent (for water-based GPs) are outstandingly beautiful.

We offer a flexible and modern general practice working day, which might include remote working or staggered start and finish times. You could provide traditional primary care or spend time with our integrated teams in urgent care, complex patients or those patients in residential care. If you have (or want to develop) a specialist interest, we actively encourage you to apply to see how we can help you develop a service for our patients. There will be opportunities to develop your clinical leadership skills within the practice.

The salary will be competitive and dependent upon your experience, and includes indemnity, six weeks of annual leave and a week of study leave.
