Job Description
Opportunity
An outstanding opportunity has arisen to join one of the UK’s leading private healthcare services as a GP / Advanced Health Screening Doctor. Positions are available across London and at the Glasgow city site. We are seeking a motivated and clinically excellent GP who wants to focus on prevention, continuity of care and high-quality health assessment, rather than high-volume reactive medicine.
This is a clinically rewarding and professionally refreshing post. You will see pre-booked, privately insured corporate patients, with the time to get to know them and deliver thorough, proactive care. You will also have rapid access to advanced diagnostics and specialist networks through a wider hospital group.
There are no weekends, no evening clinics, no walk-ins and no home visits. Days are structured with fixed start and end times, on 3, 4 or 5 day contracts. A comprehensive orientation programme means previous health screening experience is desirable but not essential.
This post offers a genuine chance to build a sustainable, well-supported career in private general practice within a leading UK provider.
