Lochgilphead Medical Centre, Mid Argyll Community Hospital & Integrated Care Centre, Blarbuie Road, Lochgilphead, Argyll PA31 8JZ
Lochgilphead Medical Centre (as seen on GPs: Treating Rural Britain) are based in Mid Argyll on the beautiful West Coast of Scotland with a population of 6800 patients. We are a dynamic, forward thinking GP Training Practice, the only practice in Scotland to hold the MOD Employers Recognition Scheme Gold award. Our clinical team consists of 8 GP partners, 1 Advanced Nurse Practitioner, 2 Practice Nurses and 1 Health Care Assistant/Phlebotomist.
We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic General Practice nurse - full time - 37.5 hrs per week, however part-time hours or job sharing would be considered.
We are looking to extend our progressive Nursing Team...
- Are you an experienced Practice Nurse looking to develop your career within an innovative practice team in a beautiful rural location? Or are you an enthusiastic Registered Nurse looking to develop skills and experience in General Practice nursing within a supportive team?
- Do you relish a challenge?
- Do you value continuity in the care you provide patients?
- Do you enjoy variety?
The successful applicant will need to be a Registered Nurse, display a willingness to develop a wide range of skills and be able to work independently but within a supportive team. Proficiency in chronic disease management would be an asset but the right applicant will be supported to develop skills in the range of disease presentations commonly encountered in Primary Care. Sexual and women's health and cytology skills are desirable but again, we are supportive of continuing education in this area. Excellent communication, interpersonal and organisational skills are essential. The practice uses Docman and Vision.
Banding would be based on experience.
To obtain more details, to ask any questions or for an informal discussion with our senior Practice Nurse please contact our Practice Manager Donna Gibson 01546 462002.
