Milton Surgery is a friendly, progressive and well-established training GP Practice with a reputation for innovation and person-centered care. We are a large, high-achieving practice, consisting of circa 8,000 patients, working from custom-built premises in the Duddingston area within North East Edinburgh.

We will provide a welcoming and supportive environment to allow the development of any applicant in any stage of their career. We are a supportive and fully sociable and cohesive practice team.
