Dunbar Medical Centre, Queens Road, Dunbar, East Lothian EH42 1EE
Whitesands Medical Practice, Dunbar Medical Centre - Salaried GP Post
Come to sunny Dunbar... a great little seaside town, only 20 minutes from Edinburgh by train, with easy access to beautiful beaches and the Lammermuir Hills.
We are looking for a salaried GP to join our friendly team. The post is for four to eight sessions and is available now, but we would be keen to wait for the right candidate. An interest in medical student teaching and/or GP training would be welcomed.
Our focus is on continuity of care, sustainable working, and practitioner wellbeing, working to 15-minute appointments, mostly face-to-face. We have high levels of patient satisfaction and few complaints. We meet for coffee (or tea) every day and prioritize regular protected admin sessions and away-days. We are supportive of GPs developing other interests and are keen to evolve the way we work within the modern NHS while protecting the core elements of traditional general practice that still make this the best job in the world.
We have a wonderful, loyal, and enthusiastic administrative team and a list size of about 5,000 across a broad social demographic. Our clinical team consists of four part-time partners, one salaried GP (this post), a practice nurse, and a healthcare assistant. While we have a diverse rural population, stretching across two counties, many of our house calls can be done on foot or by bike.
We work from an attractive, well-planned, purpose-built medical centre that provides a pleasant working environment and is shared with two other similar-sized practices. All three practices have a full complement of GPs and a common philosophy of care. We have a good range of services on-site including practice pharmacy team, district nurses, care home team, health visitors, midwife, physiotherapy, primary care substance use nurse, and CTACS. Dunbar has a vibrant third sector and high levels of community engagement which allow us the opportunity to provide holistic, de-medicalised care where appropriate.
Informal visits are encouraged, and we have locum shifts available if you want to try us out first. Please contact Debbie Wood, practice manager for more information or to arrange an informal chat with the GP partners.
If you are inspired to apply, then please send us your CV and a covering letter by email to debra.wood@nhs.scot. The closing date for applications is Thursday 19th September. We use the BMA salaried GP contract. Salary dependent on experience.
