About Vertis Health
Vertis Health is a federation of general practices delivering high-quality NHS services across Worcestershire. We were founded by local primary care clinicians and are owned by the practices we serve. As a purpose-led limited company, the money we generate is reinvested into the local healthcare economy, helping to strengthen services, support innovation and improve patient care.
Vertis Health delivers and supports a range of primary care and urgent care services. Current and developing opportunities may include Primary Care Services at or around local Emergency Departments, out-of-hours medical cover for community hospitals, and other services mobilised in response to local system need. Joining the staff bank does not restrict a GP to one service and does not guarantee a minimum number of shifts. Offers of work will reflect service demand, commissioning arrangements, competence, availability and completion of service-specific onboarding.
