Teaching:Our Surgery enjoys supporting and teaching a diverse range of multidisciplinary professionals working in the Surgery, including physician associates, clinical pharmacists, health care assistants, practice nurses, physician associate students (St George's) and medical students (Royal Free/UCL). We are keen to recruit a GP who shares our enthusiasm for a range of teaching activities, including supporting physician associates at the weekly clinical meeting.

Annual leave: Pro rata (6 weeks full time equivalent)

What makes us different: - A calm, professional working environment - we support our clinicians when patient behaviour is challenging, addressing conduct amongst the patient population as a Surgery management priority, to ensure all staff can work productively and enjoy their time at the practice.
