Eve Gilmore
Initially I had concerns that working for Practices in ‘crisis’ would mean constantly working in chaos but actually with the team already providing support to the Practices, and with Lisa coordinating our deployment to them, our work is well regulated and very rewarding. We also benefit from the statutory rights of employment, inclusion in the HSC pension and paid study leave/PDP sessions.
Rachel McKeogh
I joined the GPICR team in February 2019 directly after finishing my GP training. At this point the role was very new and I was unsure what to expect from it. Having only just completed my GP training I initially thought I might not have sufficient experience to help ‘practices in difficulty’ and I was apprehensive. Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised and I have settled really well into this role.
Richard Mayne
Richard shares his experience of being a salaried GP with the GP Improvement and Crisis Response Team, developing a specialist interest in MSK medicine and studying for a certificate in Primary Care Leadership.
