Social Media & Marketing Placement Student

Social Media & Marketing Placement Student

SALARY: £24,071 per annum

REPORTS TO: Business Support Manager

LOCATION: Galgorm, Ballymena

Company Description

GP Federations were established in Northern Ireland with two main aims:

• To support and protect GP Practices
• To help deliver the transformation agenda in Health and Social Care

GP Federations aim to provide better care, delivered in a more responsive way and closer to home, for patients registered on the lists of practices within the Federation. The focus is on working across the local health and social care community, in collaboration with a wide number of agencies, to design and implement innovative healthcare strategies and ways of delivering high quality care.

Across Northern Ireland, there are 17 GP Federations which have been established by GPs to support General Practice and facilitate the transformation of health and social care in a Primary Care setting. Each Federation has been established as a Not-For-Profit Community Interest Company and any financial surplus generated through efficiency is re-invested in front-line services.

Each Federation covers a patient population of approximately 100,000 patients and, because of scale, provides services which would not otherwise be delivered at individual Practice level.
