Who we are

We are a progressive and innovative training practice with c7,400 patients. Our dynamic, multi- disciplinary team consists of 5 Partners, ANPs, Practice Nurses, Administrators and Managers all of whom are passionate about working collaboratively to deliver a high standard of patient care. We have a lower than average patient list per GP and value the wellbeing of all our staff; encouraging a healthy work/life balance as well as creating an ethos of values-based team working is integral to how we work. Our interests and focus is in education and professional development with opportunity for formal or informal mentorship. We are forward-thinking in response to the changing landscape of primary healthcare being early adopters of a fully ANP-led duty service.

Where we work

We are based in a purpose built Health Centre in the heart of the Scottish Borders. The area is surrounded by beautiful scenery whilst providing excellent facilities for a variety of outdoor pursuits; walking, mountain biking, watersports, wild swimming to name but a few! Edinburgh is within easy reach by train from Tweedbank which is only a few miles away. Newcastle and Carlisle are also only a short drive. The neighbouring town of Melrose, famous for Rugby Sevens, along with Galashiels and Kelso, are fascinating areas to be explored for those who love history.
