Are you looking for a flexible, rewarding and sustainable GP career within the independent sector?
Concierge Medical was established in 2013 by our two founding Doctors, who championed the traditional family doctor model believing that trusted doctor/patient relationships are much improved with consultations being face to face at home with the patient for their convenience and comfort.
Concierge Medical was the first true ‘concierge’ practice in the UK, and has since grown to become a multi-award winning company committed to providing exceptional healthcare to its members, whilst ensuring we create an environment for our team to thrive. We know, happy doctors = happy patients.
Concierge Medical offers a unique role for our GP’s wanting to make the move into private medicine as Dr Alia Fahmy explains.
Dr Alia Fahmy grew up in Yorkshire and moved to London to study medicine at Imperial College. She started working in a busy GP surgery in Leamington Spa after her training and was there for 11 years as a partner. She joined Concierge Medical in 2020.
“For me, the attraction of Concierge Medical was about providing continuity of care, having the time to spend with your patients and the opportunity of a better work/life balance.
Working in the NHS is incredibly intense. You know that when you finish with your patient it isn’t the end of your day as you have a mountain of paperwork to deal with.
With Concierge, the main thing is looking after your patients. There is much more job satisfaction when you can build a better relationship with them – it’s the whole idea of ‘cradle to grave’ care.
It always gives me so much variety, too, from dealing with tiny babies to the elderly.
Working at Concierge has definitely improved my job satisfaction. I’m able to spend as much time as needed with each patient, without feeling like there are five other patients waiting for me. I can listen, ask questions and take the time I need.
Things can take an hour – and they should. You can’t always get a proper grasp on the patient’s need in a 10-minute appointment.
There is also a much better work/life balance, so it is good for my family life. I can drop my kids off at school and pick them up again. Without that, you can miss out on an awful lot.
It’s helped my own wellbeing, too, to the point that I am enjoying being a doctor again! You don’t get that ‘Monday morning feeling’ any more, which is a refreshing change.”
