Responsibilities will include:

• Undertaking comprehensive assessments and reviews of patients with long-term conditions.
• Managing and monitoring patients with complex and multiple health needs.
• Working alongside GPs, practice nurses, clinical pharmacists and other healthcare professionals to deliver coordinated care.
• Supporting the practice in improving long-term condition outcomes and the quality of patient care.

About us
Guildhall Surgery is an established practice serving a diverse patient population in Folkestone. We have a strong commitment to developing our clinical workforce, including being a GP training practice, and continually improving the services we offer.

Guildhall Surgery is currently progressing plans to relocate to new, purpose-designed premises within the Folca development in central Folkestone.
