Finding the right GP role is about more than simply securing a new position. For Dr Ajayi, it was about finding a practice that offered a better long-term fit, both professionally and personally.
After applying for a Salaried GP opportunity in Kent, Dr Ajayi worked with David Thorburn at Prospect Health, who supported her throughout the recruitment process and helped her secure her new position.
Now settled into the role, Dr Ajayi describes the move as a positive step forward and would happily recommend David and Prospect Health to other GPs searching for their next opportunity.
Support throughout the application process
Once David made contact with Dr Ajayi, he helped explain the opportunity in more detail, including the location, the practice and what she could expect from the position.
“David was really helpful, walking me through the role, where it was and what to expect from the practice.”
Ahead of her interview, David also provided additional information and interview guidance, helping Dr Ajayi understand what the practice was looking for.
“It was helpful to know what the practice standards were and what they were expecting. That was all really useful prior to the interview.”
Keeping the process moving
Recruitment processes do not always move at the same pace at every stage, so having someone to follow up with the practice proved valuable.
When there was a period of limited communication following the offer, David stayed in contact with the practice and helped keep things progressing.
“David was helpful in chasing the practice. We got things sorted and it was a very good experience. The process was very smooth.”
Finding a GP role that was a better long-term fit
Dr Ajayi started her new Salaried GP role in Kent in June and has already had positive feedback through her initial reviews.
“So far, so good. It’s all been positive. It’s been a great job role and I’m glad to have found it when I did. I’m grateful for the help as well.”
Her previous position had not felt like the right long-term option, making it particularly important to find a practice that better matched what she wanted from the next stage of her career.
“This role is definitely more in keeping with what I was looking for. From a professional and personal point of view, it’s definitely a step in the right direction.”
The new practice also offers the chance to work alongside medical students and GP trainees, providing Dr Ajayi with additional opportunities as she becomes established within the team.
Would Dr Ajayi recommend Prospect Health?
When asked whether she would recommend David and Prospect Health to other GPs considering a move, her answer was simple:
“Yes, definitely.”
