GP Associate Partner

• Kings Park Surgery

In response to rapidly changing times in primary care we have developed the role of Associate Partner to join us in leading one of the most progressive and exciting NHS GP partnerships in the UK.

We expect our Associate Partners to demonstrate:

• Their ambition to progress their career to the next step from a salaried role
• Development of their clinical, leadership, managerial and business experience
• A commitment to delivery of a high-quality integrated service using innovative approaches to ensure the best outcomes for their patients
• Leadership in the development of local networks e.g., the PCN.
• Achieving agreed outcomes and ensuring that the Hurley Group is perceived as an integral and valued, if sometimes different, member of the network
• Their ability to take lead responsibility for the overall running of their designated site with the support of the other partners and the Hurley centralised team
• Delivery of an agreed number of patient facing sessions each week
• Delivery of training and supervision
• Enjoyment in developing and bringing out the best in your team
• Delivery of agreed performance indicators relevant to Kings Park Surgery
• Participation in the ‘partner on call' Rota, the requirement being to cover two weekends (four weekend days) on call a year (24hours on call on each day)
• Enthusiasm, flexibility, a sense of humour, a good work ethic and an acceptance that one needs to ‘get their hands dirty’
• An understanding of the value of working with others, including a cohort of other Associate Partners, and yet can work independently too.
• A desire to actively be involved in partnership, workstream and training meetings

Terms and conditions

• Self-employed status as an Associate Partner with the Hurley Group
• Although the initial commitment is to Kings Park Surgery if the contract were not to continue an alternative site would be offered.  (A self-employed individual would not be eligible for TUPE in this situation)
• Holiday (6 weeks), study (1 week) and ‘other’ leave (pro rata if not full time).  These  allowances are the same as equity partners and set out in the partnership Deed
• Income linked to the number of sessions worked plus an enhanced package linked to service delivery and achievement of KPIs/targets at Kings Park Surgery.  
• Indemnified against exposure to financial risks of wider Hurley Group set out in the partnership Deed
• If eligible for the New to Partnership scheme - part of the financial package will include an agreed equity share of any profits at Kings Park Surgery with an agreed level of exposure to financial risk again limited to Kings Park Surgery
• The associate partner will need to arrange ‘run off’ indemnity cover (if required) to cover historic claims and non NHS work such as medical reports (depends on the scheme you are in). The costs would then be reimbursed as expenses
• It is possible (subject to prior agreement and feasibility) to continue to work on outside projects not included in your package when you are not working for HG and to retain the income. This is not the same for equity partners where all income is pooled.  It would be essential to agree this work in advance and provide assurance this work would not negatively impact on your Hurley Group work. (Indemnity costs for any additional work would be met by the employee unless covered by CNSGP)

Your professional development is paramount and you will be supported to attend all mandatory training and additional training to gain further skills and experience. You will be a valued member of the whole team, encouraged to attend clinical meetings, contribute and be integral in decision making that influences the patient journey and services provided at the site.
