About Us
Fellowships and portfolio roles for GPs are very well established in Mid and South Essex and offer a package of benefits alongside the opportunity to take up a role outside primary care, alongside continued GP work.

  • Recruit and retain GPs, offering opportunities that a recent survey has shown are priorities for recruitment, retention and wellbeing.
  • Increase collaborative cross- system working and understanding through developing GPs with a wider understanding of other parts of the system and allowing GPs to share their knowledge and expertise whilst working in partner settings.
  • Support system partners with recruitment of appropriately qualified GPs for innovative roles.
  • Support the development of innovative posts to support the primary- secondary care interface, cross organizational working and the Left shift of services.
  • Offer a variety of opportunities to inspire practicing GPs to increase job satisfaction, diversify their careers and remain in the workforce longer term.
