We're looking for short-term locum cover w/c 11 August and 18 August at Riverside Medical Practice.
Must supply confirmation of your GMC number, current inclusion on the Lothian Performers List and a copy of your indemnity.
Please contact helen.marsden@nhs.scot or call 07411 269 315.
We're a Vision Practice who offer 15 minute appointments. Our locum GPs do 26 appointments per day - no home visits, duty doctor or docman.
We're a busy surgery (list size c.20,000) located in an area with significant health inequality. It's clinically interesting work, with many different types of pathology.
This is a unique Practice where same-day care is supported by CWIC Direct, a nurse-led local health board team located next door to us. This means our GPs have more time to provide care to more complex patients, with 15-minute appointments as standard. Direct access local health board-run MSK, CTACS and mental health services are also available to our patients, again making sure your time is spent with the patients who most need your care.
We have a stable, 50-strong team at the Practice, with a number of WTE GPs which compares favourably to national averages. We also have additional specialist clinicians - including chronic disease nurse specialists and a specialist paramedic – as well as treatment room nursing and phlebotomy. Embedded staff working in the Practice include a substance use nurse; and pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Our care home resident patients are cared for by a dedicated local health board team, with support from our Care Home Lead GP.
We have sound support in place for emergencies - with a specialist paramedic and other members of our large team always available - and well-stocked, accessible emergency kits. You won't find yourself managing an emergency on your own here.
We have four supportive GP partners, a great call handling team and the other usual operational support staff. Feedback from our team is that we're a genuinely welcoming and well-organised Practice, with mature processes in place.
We're located close to both Edinburgh City Centre and East Lothian's fabulous beaches. The Practice is located in a purpose-built health centre with plentiful consulting rooms, kitchen, sun terrace and onsite parking. Sweet treats are always on hand!
We look forward to hearing from you!
