Job Advert
Peterculter Medical Practice
Clinical colleague(s) needed – GP (Salaried/Locum) and Advanced Practitioners
Where?
Peterculter Village, sitting at the gates of Royal Deeside while remaining close to Aberdeen City.
This gives you the best of both worlds and allows you to live in a lovely part of the world. We are very easily accessible; just a short trip up or down the AWPR. As a practice we are very geographically compact, with the vast majority of our patients living within our small village. These things offer many advantages.
Why?
You might be an established colleague who is a bit fed up of just a bit too much pressure and really keen to enjoy work again. Or, you might be a new colleague looking for a genuinely supportive friendly and nurturing environment in which to develop. Our ‘standard’ GP session is currently 7 untimed phones (including 2 review slots) and 7 Face to Face (we all do 15 mins at the moment). The rest is admin time including 4 own use blood result review slots for convenience. Our ANPs do a variety of things but all manageable and fully supported. No Docman (except results and the odd FYI for interest). No Prescription Admin of any kind (including acutes and med reviews). No Reports. No Medicals. Duty burden is also very manageable with numbers of duty sessions we ask colleagues to do limited (none for locum colleagues unless you want them), good on the day / next day appointment availability and excellent support from the whole team. We have the city visiting service and our excellent ANPs to deal with the very small number of visits that we need to do. Other opportunities will also be available, including teaching, minor surgery, coils & implants and joint injections.
Who?
Friendly, interested and enthusiastic colleagues would be immensely valued additions to the team. The practice is committed to providing an environment for people to thrive and enjoy their work as well as allowing for a very positive work life balance.
When?
Our current team is great but it can get even better. We are keen to hear from any interested colleagues. We’d love a conversation around your needs and wants to explore how we can best match these to those of the practice. ASAP would be great.
We are certain the successful candidate will find this a very positive move. We’d be delighted to hear any informal enquiries and these will be treated confidentially as required. Please contact ewan.paterson@nhs.scot. Formal applications to christine.dowall@nhs.scot.
