Salaried GP, North-West Shropshire

Salaried GP | Oswestry

Background

This is a rare chance to join a practice that has deliberately stepped back from total triage and duty doctor systems, protecting salaried GPs from the volume of e-consult work many peers now face. Sessions are built around continuity and manageable clinical contacts rather than a constant digital inbox. With a supportive, close-knit team and genuine flexibility over how your day is structured, this is general practice run the way many GPs wish it still was.

Location

The practice is based in Oswestry, Shropshire, a market town close to the Welsh border with good road links via the A5 and A483. Shrewsbury is around 25 minutes away by car, with Wrexham and Whitchurch both within about 30 minutes, giving a good range of commuting options and local amenities.

The Practice

• Study leave and development of clinical special interests actively supported and funded
