IG Medical are looking for an enthusiastic, innovative and forward thinking GP to join our team in the beautiful market town of Grassington.

• Six sessions required
• Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
• Salary negotiable
• Based at Grassington Medical Practice and part of IG Medical
• Six weeks holiday + study leave, support for portfolio development

We are a successful six partner PMS practice with a patient list of 18,000. The practice is an integral part of our community with an active patient participation group and we provide first class patient care which is evidenced by our excellent feedback.

Our team of 60 clinical and non-clinical staff provides an extensive range of services from our health centre, which is located within the market town centre. We work collaboratively with neighbouring practices and we are closely engaged with our Primary Care Network, CCG and colleagues in the voluntary sector and in public health/social services.

Having an interest in supporting training is essential. We are a training practice with registrars on both sites and also teach 5th year medical students.

The practice has a reputation for being ahead of the game with regard to the challenges of primary care and we are now in another exciting phase of development. You will have the opportunity to become a key player in our plans for the future.

To apply for this position or for an informal chat about the practice please contact Jo Shepheard, Practice Manager, on 01943 886304 or email joanne.shepheard@bradford.nhs.uk

GP practices across Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven are now able to offer patients increased access to routine appointments with GPs, nurses and other healthcare professionals from locally-based hubs.

This service provides all registered patients with access to pre-bookable routine GP appointments from 6.30pm–8pm Monday to Friday, and from 8.30am–11.30am on weekends.

IG Medical participates in the Care navigation scheme, which is designed to help direct patients to the most appropriate care.

As part of the care navigation initiative, receptionists may ask callers seeking to book an appointment a few simple questions to establish who could best meet their needs.

Patients might then be offered a slot within the practice – for example with a GP, nurse or pharmacist – or be referred to other services e.g. wellbeing or community services.

Care navigation will only be applicable to adults and is completely voluntary.
