Job summary
East Norfolk Medical Practice (ENMP) wants a quality salaried GP to join our family asap, initially until the end of March 2027, with flexible working considered. This is a great opportunity to work in a very large, diverse, robust practice that still maintains a strong family feel. You will have great support from twenty two GP colleagues and an excellent wider team. We care for 32,000 patients from four sites with a varied population including highly deprived urban to rural coastal communities.

We prioritise work-life balance, professional development and sustainable workloads. Each session includes three hours of direct patient contact and one hour of protected administration time. You will also have access to Heidi, our AI enhanced clinical support tool. All new GPs benefit from a mentor, a week of study leave, and take part in ongoing clinical education.

To help you decide if ENMP is right for you, we asked our latest GP partner why they chose to stay after training. They said, 'ENMP offers a great deal to any potential recruit with a forward thinking culture, personalised patient lists, strong patient satisfaction, a successful business model, excellent staff morale and support, and partners who are always available for backup.'

Main duties of the job
At ENMP we are proud to continue to operate a personal list system with continuity of care the primary focus. However, we also meet the 'same day' patient demand through our RCGP award winning Urgent Care Team (UCT), which includes two duty GPs, five paramedics an advanced nurse with support from our PCN Home Visiting Team. This role is to primarily work as part of the UCT although there may be the opportunity to provide routine appointment sessions as well.

The successful applicant will be supported by a comprehensive multi disciplinary team including paramedics, advanced nurses, physician associates, care coordinators and experienced administrative staff and will have their own dedicated GP assistant.

About us
East Norfolk Medical Practice cares for our 32,000 patients across four sites in Great Yarmouth and Caister on Sea, Norfolk. Much of our Practice population reside in a neighbourhood among the most deprived 10% in England. This brings a variety of work unlike most other practice populations and our team, including our GPs, often feel they can make a significant difference to people's lives.

ENMP is a stimulating place to work and develop your career. We are committed to education, teaching five years of UEA students as well as Cambridge University students and training GP registrars. We run an enhanced homeless care service including outreach and offer all the other services and opportunities e.g. minor surgery, contraception services etc, that you would expect in a leading general practice.

ENMP is all about the patients and our team. We exist to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients and staff. We believe our people are what makes us unique and build our Practice on trust, high standards, continuous improvement, long term over short term benefit and being 'a great place to work.' This is reflected in our very low staff turnover i.e. 4% v 35.7% national average and high staff survey scores including 85% for respect and 96% for positive culture. It helps that we give you your birthday off work!
