We have recently been successful in the recruitment of two new GP Partners in preparation for our senior Partner’s retirement in June. We now have some movement in our salaried clinical team and wish to use this capacity to further recruit to our Partnership so are seeking motivated individuals who share our ethos and have a commitment to providing high quality care. Whether newly qualified or looking for a change we are open to flexible and part time work patterns with choice of sessions promoting work life balance.

The Afon Elai Partnership is a newly formed General Practice caring for 16,000 residents of South-West Cardiff. We are a merger of 2 longstanding and successful practices, Westway Surgery and Meddygfa Lansdowne Surgery with seven Partners working from two sites easily accessible for the M4. We have an ethos of aiming to provide high-quality patient centred care, underpinned by a commitment to fairness and a focus on prioritising wellbeing over profit. We now have an exciting opportunity for a GP looking for partnership to join our team and help shape the future of a new strong and sustainable practice.

Our balanced clinical team consists of GP Partners, Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Advanced Paramedic Practitioner, Physician Associates, Practice Pharmacist, Practice Nurses, and Health Care Assistants alongside an excellent team of Patient Care Administrators providing care navigation and administrative support.

As a training practice we host registrars, medical students, general practice nurse trainees, foundation pharmacists and physician associate students and are committed to continuing professional development. We deliver a full range of enhanced services facilitating the development of special interests and engage in non-commercial research. We are a pro-active member of Cardiff South-West Cluster, with one of our GP Partners taking the role of Cluster Lead Community Director, and another is our Locality Director. We work with local partners to explore how best to work in a cooperative way to maximise our patients’ wellbeing. In addition, our Cluster has established weekly multi agency multi - disciplinary team meetings and an active Hub delivering welfare checks and health monitoring.

Our Values: We aim to work with patients, other healthcare staff and community providers to provide safe, evidence based and patient-centred primary care, based on clinical need. This is underpinned by a commitment to fairness to each other, to our staff and to our patients. The practice should be financially secure and sustainable in order to provide security for our partners, staff and patients, rather than maximising profit. We aim to be a place where people want to come and work, where they feel valued and able to contribute.
