About us:  Shropdoc is a not-for-profit company established in 1996. We provide 24/7 urgent primary care services for patients across Powys, Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, and Lancashire, including out of hours service GP, care coordination, single point of access in Shropshire, and an oncology advice line. 

Shropdoc’s mission is to ‘keep the patient at the heart of all that we do’. We aim to achieve excellence in the care we offer to our patients, providing a safe and high-quality service that is easily accessible. We care about our team of over 200 colleagues.

Our vision and values of Community, Quality, Kindness, Integrity, and Development are at the heart of all that we do, enabling us to achieve the best outcomes for patients and for our colleagues.

We provide and are currently recruiting additional Clinical Practitioners with an enthusiasm and passion for high quality care, to increase our existing team of very friendly and dynamic clinical practitioners across two of our current work streams -Telephone triage and Home visiting out of hours (OOH).

 

Role Overview:  Clinical Practitioners work alongside our GPs in the Call Centre based in Shrewsbury performing telephone triage, responding to calls passed through the NHS 111 service, as well as referrals from other Professionals from within the community setting. Whilst Clinical Practitioners based at our main Shropdoc bases at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals, will respond to home visits when necessary in one of our distinctive livered ‘Shropdoc’ cars with a driver provided.

 

The Person:  We are particularly interested in hearing from healthcare professionals with a primary or urgent care background (with or without non-medical prescribing experience).  However, training is provided, and we are more interested in people with the right attitude and approach to work rather than specific experience.

 

The Clinician must be both reliable, dependable and seeking a new challenge, have exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, and the confidence to work autonomously, making decisions without direct supervision, that said, support would never be far away when you need it.
