Job Summary

NL Health Services Rural Zone is inviting applications for a full-time Salaried Family Physician to work in a collaborative environment at the Holyrood Medical Clinic, Holyrood, NL.

NL Health Services is pleased to support its Primary Health Care Providers in achieving its goals of providing exceptional and high-quality care to patients in the Holyrood region.

This Family Care Team is a hub and spoke model involving the establishment of a main campus or hub, which houses the most intensive medical services, complemented by smaller satellite clinics or spokes, which offer arrays of service where healthcare needs are addressed locally. In cases where more intensive medical interventions are required, patients are routed to the main hub for treatment or consultation from the satellite “spoke” clinics. This model is designed to meet the needs of the population while being fiscally responsible in human resource distribution

United Shores Health Centre in Holyrood would act as the main “hub” for service delivery in this position. The smaller centers in St Mary’s, Trepassey and Ferryland would service those population areas as the “spokes”. The hub-and-spoke model for providing service to the population within the Southern Avalon catchment area includes special consideration to geography, demographics, and the social determinants of health. The in person clinical duties would be split between Holyrood and St Mary’s clinics, with support as needed to other sites. Patient care is supported by a team of health professionals in both the Hub and Spoke sites

The successful physician will manage a roster of patients. Our ideal candidate will have a strong patient focus and excellent communication skills with a keen interest in practicing in a collaborative team approach. Hours of work may need flexibility to offer clinics during the daytime, after-hours and on weekends to meet patient needs. Documentation is completed using the EMR Med Access platform.
