About the role
Contract Type: PERMANENT
SLATEFORD MEDICAL PRACTICE, EDINBURGH
Hours: 6 SESSIONS (24 hours) PER WEEK
We are a city based GP Practice seeking to employ a 6 session salaried GP for a permanent position. Ideally the successful candidate will work all day Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
We have a patient population of just over 10,500 patients and we use Vision as our clinical system. The practice promotes a supportive, collaborative approach to work. We have daily huddles to discuss interesting and challenging cases.
The GP template is 25 patients per day, and these are a mixture of face to face and telephone calls, depending on patient preference.
We are lucky to have our Advanced Nurse Practitioner carry out the majority of our house calls.
We are a teaching practice for both 1 and 4 year medical students.
We currently have a clinical team of 4 GP Partners, 6 salaried doctors, 1 Advanced Nurse Practitioner, 2 Practice Nurses, 3 HCA’s, a Practice Mental Health Nurse, 2 Practice pharmacists and 1 Senior Pharmacy technician. Our Admin team consists of a Practice Manager and Business Manager, 6 reception/admin assistants, 3 data administrators and 2 secretaries. The GP Practice is part of purpose built premises which also has in house community services such as District Nursing, Health Visitors, School Nurses and Midwives.
We are a sociable, animal loving team (especially dogs). We are fortunate to have an outside seating area where we can all get together for coffee and lunch. We place importance on both work/life balance and daily coffee breaks together as a team.
Interested candidates are welcome to contact US informally. Please contact Elaine Miller (Practice Manager) [email protected] or Elaine Ferguson (Business Manager) [email protected] who will be happy to have a chat with you.
To formally apply for the post please send an up to date CV with a covering letter to either of these e-mail addresses.
