Summary
The post-holder will manage a caseload and provide high-quality, patient-centred care to registered and temporary patients. Clinical responsibilities will include: Assessing and managing patients presenting with undifferentiated and undiagnosed problems Making autonomous clinical decisions and arranging appropriate investigation, treatment, follow-up, or referral Providing routine, urgent, telephone, and face-to-face consultations in accordance with the agreed practice timetable Undertaking home visits where clinically appropriate Prescribing safely and in accordance with current guidance and local prescribing arrangements Reviewing investigation results and clinical correspondence relating to patients under their care Making appropriate referrals to secondary care and other healthcare professionals Providing health promotion, disease prevention, and appropriate chronic disease management Maintaining clear, accurate, and contemporaneous clinical records Working collaboratively with the wider practice and community healthcare teams Participating in multidisciplinary meetings where appropriate Contributing to clinical governance, audit, quality improvement, and the continued development of the practice Maintaining professional development, appraisal, and revalidation requirements Complying with relevant practice policies, including confidentiality, information governance, safeguarding, prescribing, and health and safety We have also worked hard to reduce unnecessary administrative workload. Our GP Assistant manages the majority of incoming Docman correspondence, meaning an individual GP will commonly have only a very low level of Docman requiring their attention. As a dispensing practice, we also have pharmacist and pharmacy technician support. Home visits are part of rural general practice but are not onerous it would be unusual for an individual GP to undertake more than one a week. There is scope to develop particular clinical interests, and skills such as minor surgery and joint injections would be welcomed, although they are not essential. About us We care for just under 6,000 patients across the beautiful Golden Valley, with our main surgery in Ewyas Harold and a branch surgery in Peterchurch. We are a genuinely small team. Our size means that we know our patients, and continuity is central to how we organise and deliver care. Many of our patients have been with the practice for generations, and it is common to know several members of the same family. We are proud of the relationship we have with our patients and local community. Our 2026 GP Patient Survey found that 89% rated their overall experience of the practice as good, 99% had confidence and trust in the healthcare professional they saw, and 98% felt their needs were met during their appointment. Being rural also brings particularly close relationships with our wider community healthcare colleagues. We have excellent working relationships with our district nursing and palliative care teams and meet regularly to discuss shared patients. We are also part of a supportive and collaborative Primary Care Network. We constantly review how we work, adopting new technology where it genuinely improves patient care or reduces unnecessary workload. We want to provide excellent care while maintaining a safe, sustainable and enjoyable working environment for everyone in the practice. We do not believe sustainable general practice should depend upon clinicians routinely working beyond their contracted hours. Who are we looking for? Working in a small practice is different from working in a large organisation, and the right fit matters. We are looking for a GP who values continuity and long-term relationships with patients, enjoys being part of a small team, takes responsibility for their own work and patients, and wants to contribute to the life and continued development of the practice. In return, you will work alongside experienced, friendly colleagues who support one another and genuinely care about providing a good service. Our administrative and secretarial teams have exceptional local knowledge and are an invaluable part of how the practice works. The post-holder will be expected to undertake the normal professional duties and responsibilities associated with working as a salaried GP in NHS general practice. If the kind of general practice described here is what attracted you to becoming a GP in the first place, we would very much like to hear from you. Please apply with a CV and covering letter telling us a little about yourself, why you would like to join Golden Valley Practice, and the number of sessions you are seeking. Informal visits and conversations are warmly encouraged. For further information, or to arrange an informal visit, please contact: Dr Esther Scotland, Senior Partner esther.scotland@nhs.net
