50 The Glebe, Kirkliston EH29 9ASand Niddry Road, Winchburgh EH52 6RX EH29 9AS
An ambitious and dedicated GP wanted for a growing practice with an excellent and forward thinking team.
The Almond Group Practice serves 11,000 patients in our two practices in Kirkliston and Winchburgh. Both practices are purpose built health centres with modern consulting rooms and staff rooms and benefit from easy parking. We have fresh filter coffee or tea for the staff to enjoy and we meet daily to support each other with clinical queries. We are a friendly and sociable team and we are committed to fostering a supportive environment for all and to maintaining a sustainable and varied workload.
Our patient population is mainly young working families with acute medical problems and little complexity. There is little deprivation. Winchburgh is currently the largest development complex in the UK and will hugely increase our practice list over the next decade and will benefit from a marina amongst other amenities. Both practices currently have a variety of shops within walking distance for lunch.
The successful candidate would work alongside our very friendly team including our partners, salaried GPs, ANP, APP and Practice nurse. Prescriptions are kept to a minimum with the help of a robust repeat prescribing policy, a Pharmacist and a Pharmacist technician. We have workflow optimisation which radically reduces the number of Docman we receive per day. We are a GP training practice and a training practice for medical students. We have 3 GP Trainers. We would be keen that the successful candidate be interesting in helping support medical students and GP trainees and should you wish to pursue training yourself then this would be accommodated. We currently have excellent patient access and as a result there is a good relationship between the practice and our local population. Our website has been recently updated to aid with this communication please have a look.
We are looking for 6-8 sessions and we are open to flexible working.
Come and work with us!
