Main duties of the job
The Person: We are looking to appoint an experienced GP who is motivated, independent, and interested in providing high quality clinical services to a varied and deprived population. The successful applicant will be expected to work flexibly across the different sites and subject to agreement this may include some weekend hours in their pattern of work.

The Practice has a high-achieving QOF track record and is closely involved in local GP-led commissioning, with mostly paperless administration; our main practice system is EMIS Web, and our GPs also Docman regularly.

About us
Banbury Cross Health Centre is owned and operated by Principal Medical Limited (PML), which works in partnership with the NHS to deliver primary care services in GP practices and community settings.

Founded in 2004 as a not-for-profit organisation by local GPs, PML was established to enable healthcare professionals to develop and deliver innovative services at scale. Today, 70% of GP practices in Oxfordshire and 22% in Northamptonshire are associated with the Federation.

PML is the largest GP Federation in Oxfordshire and South Northamptonshire, serving nearly 800,000 patients. We believe local providers are best placed to deliver high-quality, cost-effective care that meets community needs.

With over 20 years of experience, PML has a strong track record of delivering NHS, ICB and Public Health services. Our work is guided by five core values: being Compassionate, Competent, Courteous, Collaborative and Committed. We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds and those with protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010.
