Kelso Medical Group Practice - Scottish Borders
GP Partner Vacancy 6 - 8 sessions
We are a semi-rural Practice of 12,000 patients in Kelso, comprised of 9 GP Partners and 1 Salaried GP. Due to retirement, Kelso Medical Group Practice is looking for a new and enthusiastic GP Partner to join the team starting later this year – September - December 2025.
Located in the historic town of Kelso, the practice serves the population of Kelso and the surrounding smaller hamlets within the TD5 postcode area. The area offers a range of outdoor pursuits, affordable housing, and excellent schooling, and is within easy reach of both Edinburgh and Newcastle.
We provide high-quality, responsive, and compassionate medical care in partnership with a fantastic team of community staff. Our mixed team comprises 10 GPs, 4 full-time ANPs, and 3 Prescribing Practice Nurses, strongly supported by our practice management, reception/secretarial, and administration teams.
We currently offer a pre-booked and on-the-day appointment service led by the GPs and ANPs. Our culture encourages a supportive team ethos with regular downtime and a lively staff room!
Alongside a great district nurse & health visitor team, we have health board CTAC, physiotherapy pharmacy, and mental health provision. We are proud of the professional, friendly, and fun environment we have created and provide a warm welcome to senior medical students from Edinburgh University.
Our current clinical systems are EMIS PCS, Docman, and GP Order Comms. We propose a highly-individualised offer of partnership with a negotiated package of measures to support a “First-5” GP partner-to-be, with GP Partner mentorship and full induction geared towards helping the right person start in a protected way into partnership General Practice.
If you are interested in finding out more, please contact us to arrange an informal chat. We also encourage you to speak to colleagues from the community teams based in the health centre – Kelso is a great place to work!
