Take your GP cases further without having to move into referral practice.

There's a frustrating point in GP practice where you know a case could go further, but the equipment, time or expertise simply isn't there.

This independent Somerset practice has deliberately built its hospital around changing that.

You'll have a brand-new CT scanner, two operating theatres, dedicated imaging facilities, endoscopy, dental X-ray and separate hospitalisation areas.

More importantly, there's clinical experience behind the equipment.

The 13-vet team includes certificate holders in:

  • Surgery
  • ECC
  • Cardiology
  • Dermatology
  • Feline medicine

This isn't a referral position.

They're looking for a strong GP Vet who enjoys consultations, medicine, surgery and the unpredictability of first-opinion practice, but wants the ability to investigate and manage more cases in-house.

You can remain a great all-rounder or develop your own clinical interest.

If you want to pursue a certificate, they'll fully fund it, and rather than restricting everyone to a standard CPD allowance, there is no fixed CPD budget.
