– Excellent patient satisfaction scores
– Active focus on continuity of care
– Highly regarded training practice with a CS, a TPD, and a medical student educator numbering among the medical team
– High QOF achievement, member of the thriving Three Valleys Health PCN (67,000 patients)

We have a well-established private minor surgery practice alongside our NHS work (the successful applicant would not be expected to undertake minor surgery but would be fully supported should they be interested).
We embrace portfolio careers (the medical team range between 3 – 6 sessions per week) and are supportive of the successful candidate developing interests in clinical or educational areas. We are enthusiastic medical generalists with current in-house special expertise encompassing orthopaedic and musculoskeletal medicine, joint injections, dermatology (including dermoscopy), psychological medicine, minor surgery, and the full range of women’s health including LARCs fitting. We all value a healthy balance between work and home life.
Our practice population is skewed towards young families and working-age adults, and is ideal for those who enjoy paediatrics. We have a good number of loyal older patients to maintain our interest in elderly care, but we have no nursing home commitments and a correspondingly light home visiting load.
Informal enquiries and visits welcome – please email our practice manager, Dawn Davies, in the first instance at dawndavies@nhs.net
