Dedridge Medical Group is looking for two enthusiastic and caring doctors to join our friendly, supportive, and sociable practice as short-term locums.
There are two posts available as outlined below:
- Maternity cover Locum. This will run from 22nd September 2025 until end of June 2026. This is a 7-session position and will require cover on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday full days and Friday morning.
- Short term locum: This will run from 15th September 2025 until 13th February 2026. This is a 6-session position and will require cover on Wednesday/Thursday/Friday full days.
We envisage the post to incorporate the usual range of GP workload including mail, scripts and Duty Doctor cover. Both posts will be paid at a competitive rate.
Dedridge Medical Group has a committed dynamic team comprising six GP Partners and three salaried GPs working alongside a highly skilled nursing team including two ANPs and a friendly and helpful administrative staff. Additionally, we benefit from inhouse Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioners, Community and Pharmacy Technicians, Practice Mental Health Nurses, and a Community Link Worker. Together we provide a full range of high-quality primary care services for a mixed demographic population of 11,000 patients. We pride ourselves in being mutually supportive incorporating a daily clinician catch up at morning coffee. We also recognise the importance of ensuring a good work/life balance in allowing us to maintain provision of high-quality patient care.
The practice is based in Livingston, West Lothian, close to the local District General Hospital and conveniently located in the Central Belt of Scotland. The town is within a short commute from the beautiful city of Edinburgh, where most of our doctors live, providing excellent schools and all the amenities of the Festival city.
Come and join our loyal and well-established practice team, you won’t regret it!
