Position Overview & Specifications
An exciting opportunity has arisen at the Scotstown Medical Group for an enthusiastic GP Partner / Salaried GP to join our friendly team. With our main site at Scotstown in the Bridge of Don, the New Dyce Medical Practice and our rural branch dispensary at Udny Station in Aberdeenshire, we are a practice with a combined list of around 23,000 patients of a mixed demographic in the north of Aberdeen. We are a supportive, forward thinking practice team with a strong multidisciplinary approach to patient care.
Our current medical team consists of 5 GP partners and 6 Salaried GPs, with support from a complement of Advanced Nurse Practitioners, an Advanced Paramedic Practitioner, Nurse Practitioner and a highly experienced practice nurse team. Additionally there is clinical support from Pharmacists and Physician Associates, and we pride ourselves on the commitment of our whole practice team.
We currently operate a triage system with a mixture of telephone and face to face appointments using Vision and Docman, and hold regular reviews of our GP appointment strategy. We are also a GP training practice, as well as facilitating teaching sessions for medical undergraduates.
We are friendly and flexible and promote an ethos of mutual support whilst providing a high level of service to our patients. Ideally we are looking for a partner or partners to cover up to 8 sessions but understand that some may wish a trial period as a locum or salaried GP first. The successful candidate will be expected to work across our locations as required. Start Date is negotiable.
We support both clinical and non-clinical specialist interest development, and there is some flexibility around days/sessions worked. Golden Hello payment available if eligible, and medical indemnity would be covered by the Practice. This post is an excellent opportunity for the right candidate to develop themselves and enhance their skill set whether they are recently qualified or looking for a new challenge.
Applicants should be registered with GMC and eligible to be included on the NHS performers list with the right to work in UK. The practice is also an A-rated licenced visa sponsor if this is required.
Informal enquiries and visits to the practice prior to application are very welcome and can be arranged by contacting Ian McNeil, Practice Business Manager at the address below.
To apply, please send your cv and a covering letter telling us why you are the person we are looking for to:
