Expert General Practitioner Careers
(Stretton & Wilmslow Clinics)
Who we are
The Harvey Rhys Clinic is an independent Private GP clinic based in Cheshire, founded in 2019. Our mission is to change the experience of individual and family healthcare. We recognise and value the long-term relationship between GP and patient. Our ‘continuity of care’ ethos is there to support our members to live a happy and healthy life.
We employ the best healthcare personnel, and deliver services in a modern, private setting enabling us to see patients when they need and for as long as they need. They say that charity begins at home well so does happiness. That is why our team is our priority. A happy clinical and administrative team means we can continue to provide the best day-to-day primary care.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This opportunity is aimed at General Practitioners who want to move from the public sector to the independent sector. Doctors are professionals and should be treated and act in this manner. By moving from the public sector to the independent sector you will experience a significant improvement in work life balance, professional development, private sector benefit packages, and the ability to work as the doctor you trained very hard to be, and one who has the time to practise medicine. You will work in modern stylish clinics, with people who share your values and access to point of care testing and services. No home visits. We operate a centralised member concierge & administration team who deal with all patient queries, referrals, paperwork, as such you will maximise your time with your patients.

We are committed to the long-term development of our staff and our doctors. We will therefore require each GP to either have or develop a special interest that will be agreed with the Chief Medical Officer. We will support you with 10 days study leave per annum and contributions towards specialist interests’ development. The strategy is to develop a Chief Medical Officers advisory group who will have responsibility for guiding national and local clinical best practise. We aim to not just lead the way in providing the very best member experience, but to actively shape independent primary care by encouraging our clinical teams to audit or publish papers in regard to Primary Care.
