Be it in a salaried role, or as a GP Partner, we can support you to create your ideal portfolio of professional activity.

  • The opportunity to find time in a busy working week can be limited
  • Funding to cover the time involved in gaining skills is in short supply
  • Mentorship from GP leaders, providing help to plan the next steps in your career, is hard to find we can provide support with all of this.

If you are more experienced, it may be you want to adjust your work:life balance, further develop an area of special interest, or step in to an advanced leadership role. 

The scheme is flexible to allow a bespoke solution to be created for each appointed GP.   

The length of programme will be agreed before appointment, usually between one and three years. This will depend upon candidate preference and the likely time requirements to meet the objectives that are contained within your bespoke programme.
