About the Practice
This is a practice that has invested in making general practice feel manageable again. With a structured working day that finishes at 5.30pm, a reasonable appointment load with built-in catch-up time, a supporting GP assistant model, and an AI triage system launching soon to ease duty doctor workload, this practice fosters a team where GPs arrive and stay—with tenures of between five to thirteen years.
The practice is based in North-West Shropshire, near the Welsh border, providing easy access to Shrewsbury (20 mins), Wrexham (20 mins to the north), and Chester (45 mins). The area offers affordable living and open countryside for a peaceful lifestyle.
Key Features of the Practice
- Training Practice: Currently hosting GP registrars.
- Dispensing Practice: Serves around 30% of its patient population on-site.
- AI-Assisted Triage: Launching imminently to pre-triage online requests, significantly reducing duty rosters.
- GP Assistant Model: Helps shift non-clinical burdens, improving work-life balance.
- Daily Clinical Huddle: Evening clinical team meetings involve GPs, nurses, pharmacists, and paired representatives.
- Close-Knit Culture: A supportive, inclusive environment fostered by a nine-person partnership team (tenures of five to thirteen years).
- Predictable Patient Load: Small pooled list with older rural patients—not a high-complexity patient base.
- Single-site location with on-site parking.
- Uses EMIS Web.
- CQC Rated Good.
