GP Partnership opportunity 4 to 8 sessions.

(salaried with view to possible partnership considered)

Start date: Sept/Oct 2020 but prepared to wait for right candidate.

Due to retirement we are looking to recruit 1 or 2 GP partners to join our small, friendly, rural dispensing practice of 4230 patients-2.5 WTE. This is the first time this opportunity has arisen in over 20 years.

We value our work/life balance and never have to take work home.

The traditional family doctor role is very important to us, but we are enthusiastic about new opportunities. Our Primary Care Network is well established and provides improved access and enhanced frailty planning from our local community hospital in Sherborne. We are paired in the network with like-minded practices with whom we have good working relationships.

Yetminster is a lovely historic village (birthplace of vaccination) surrounded by beautiful countryside with the local market towns of Sherborne and Yeovil a short drive away. The Jurassic coast, Bath Bristol and Exeter are all easily accessible. There is a primary school in the village, an excellent state secondary school in Sherborne and a wide choice of local private schools.

High earning practice.

School medical officers at a large public school in Sherborne.

We have 2 surgeries a week at a branch surgery in Evershot (Evershead in Robert Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles).

No OOH requirement.

Only one residential home in the practice area.

7 weeks annual leave (includes any study leave).

In the top 6 practices in Dorset on recent practice satisfaction survey-99%.

High QOF achievement.

Rated ‘Good’ on recent CQC inspection.

Immediate parity.

We are looking for an enthusiastic candidate who is keen to promote high quality traditional holistic general practice and with the energy to help guide the practice through the challenges of the changing landscape. You will have the opportunity to have a significant say, and be very hands on, in the running and future direction of the practice.

We welcome any informal enquiries. Dr Ian Latham would be more than happy to answer any questions by phone (01935 872530). However, we would also strongly recommend a visit to see the surgery and the surrounding area and to look at our workload and finances.

Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic we are unable to set a specific closing date due to essential travel clauses and appreciate that GPs are both busy and may not be able to visit until restrictions are relaxed.

Applications with CV and covering letter to Dr Ian Latham at Yetminster Health Centre, Church St, Yetminster, Sherborne, Dorset, DT9 6LG OR by email to ian.latham@gp-j81017.nhs.uk
