How Prospect Health Helped a Surgery Recruit a Salaried GP in Southampton

Recruiting the right GP can be challenging, particularly when a practice needs to replace an existing member of its clinical team.

For Dr Benning at Bitterne Surgery in Southampton, working with David Thorburn at Prospect Health helped the practice successfully recruit a Salaried GP.

Finding the Right Salaried GP for Bitterne Surgery

Bitterne Surgery had previously used local medical recruitment advertising to attract GPs, but when the practice needed to replace a departing doctor, Dr Benning approached David from Prospect Health.

Having previously worked with Prospect Health several years earlier, the practice reconnected with David, who worked with the practice to fill the vacancy, resulting in the successful appointment of a Salaried GP.

Responsive Communication Throughout the Recruitment Process

When asked what stood out about the recruitment service David provided, Dr Benning highlighted one particularly important aspect:

“The timely communication.” – Dr Benning, Bitterne Surgery

Maintaining clear and timely communication is an important part of the recruitment process, helping practices stay informed as they look to secure the right GP for their team.

Dr Benning also confirmed that their new Salaried GP was settling into the position well, providing the practice with a replacement for their departing GP.

Would Bitterne Surgery Recommend Prospect Health?

Following the successful recruitment project, Dr Benning confirmed that they would work with David and Prospect Health again for future GP vacancies as well as recommending Prospect Health to other practices looking to recruit GPs.

For Prospect Health, building long-term relationships with GP practices and providing reliable recruitment support remains central to our approach.
