Here is a quote from our outgoing Salaried GP:   

"Stonehaven Medical Practice are a cohesive team, who support and value all staff members highly. This support is on a day to day basis with colleagues being aware of each others workloads and giving practical support and advice when needed, but also on a systems level, trying to ensure that systems work well both for staff and patients, and at a practice level, creating opportunities to show staff their value. As an example they have arranged a coffee van and an ice cream van to come for an afternoon to treat the staff.  I have found the Partnership team to have a rare and special attitude in this regard. The practice is busy and work demanding but this is made manageable by team attitudes and support of one another. There is a good mix of patient demographics, a wide age range, opportunities to work alongside one of the nursing homes more closely and develop rapport and relationship to provide better standards of care, and the opportunity to work alongside the local community hospital. MDT discussions are valued and carried out daily. Overall I feel I have fallen on my feet in being given an opportunity to work at SMG!"
