GP salaried/ partnership job on the island of North Uist in the Western Isles.

North Uist Medical practice. Lochmaddy Ise of North Uist Hs6 5AE

Salaried job with view to partnership if desired.

5-6 sessions / week.  

Hate the endless unmet need?  Hate the awful duty days?  Hate house visits? 

Come and work on our beautiful island and put most of that behind you.  

A lot of stressed / overworked GPs could thrive in rural general practice - but are put off by the onerous OOH responsibilites and poor transport links which can come with the deal.... but not here!  

Daily flights to Glasgow from our local airport, 2 mainland ferry links, and no OOH commitment make this a fairly unique opportunity.

You would be joining a welcoming practice with genuinely friendly staff who get along well, and where you could make a real difference to the health and well being of the community that you live in.

• 15 min appointments,  8 patients per surgery. 
• OOH care is NOT mandatory for this job.  You can earn extra in the local OOH service if you wish. 
• Modern Health Board owned Primary Care Centre.
• Dispensing practice of 1400 patients. 2 WTE GPs
• Outstanding unspoilt landscape with beautiful deserted beaches.
• Fantastic wildlife.
• Superb local schools with small classes and bilingual culture of Gaelic/English.
• Perfect place to raise kids.
• 8 Weeks annual / study leave pro rata.
• MDDUS covered. 
• Incomparable opportunities for outdoor pursuits.
• Salaried positions competitive within the BMA pay scale at 11.5k/session.  You may be eligible for Golden hello payments (10k) and relocation expenses (5k).
