We are currently a two partner practice, with an additional one morning a week Locum, two Practice Nurses, a part time phlebotomist and six administration staff including the Practice Manager.

Due to the planned retirement of one of our Senior GP Partners, we are looking to recruit a permanent 4 sessions a week locum or a GP partner to the Practice for between 4-9 sessions a week. We will be looking at sustainability with a view to an extra partner or job share of current hours worked. We are a very friendly Practice, with loyal, hard-working staff and a good community feel. We would welcome any interest in the post even those not able to commit to the full 9 sessions per week. Start date is also negotiable.

If you are interested in the post we would welcome any enquiries, either in writing or in person. Our Practice Manager would be more than happy to show you around our premises and have an informal discussion with you prior to application.

Any applications for the post should be emailed with a cover letter and CV attached to Crossgates Medical Practice, 94 Main Street, Crossgates, KY4 8DF or can be emailed to the Practice Manager, Crystal Beveridge at: [email protected] - PLEASE DO NOT FILL IN THE NHS RECRUITMENT FORM AND PLEASE SEND TO PRACTICE AND NOT TO NHS RECRUITMENT TEAM.

For any informal visits you can either phone the above number and speak to Crystal Beveridge or email her to arrange a visit.

Many thanks in advance for your interest in our lovely Practice

INVERKEITHING MEDICAL GROUP - FIFEGP MATERNITY LOCUM UP TO 9 SESSIONS AVAILABLE PER WEEK (£220 per session)

We are looking for Locum cover for up to 9 sessions per week to cover maternity leave for 9 months, commencing November 2019. We are willing to discuss flexible sessions/days.

You will be working with a highly motivated and enthusiastic group of GPs. We benefit from being a large Practice with a team of 9 GP Partners and 2 Salaried GPs. We employ an Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Chronic Disease Nurses, a Practice Pharmacist, a Mental Health Counsellor and Health Care Support Workers to help with some of the work traditionally done by GPs. We have additional Health Board Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technician who deal with discharges and acute prescriptions. In the near future, we will have additional resources such as MSK Physiotherapy, Mental Health Triage Nurse and Advanced Nurse Practitioner. The Practice has an excellent administrative set-up and is highly organised and efficient.

We operate from two modern purpose-built premises in Inverkeithing and Dalgety Bay and run a Consulting Room facility one day per week in Aberdour. There is easy parking in the area when out and about on house calls.

Our main Surgery, Inverkeithing, is situated just across the Queensferry Crossing and is approximately 25 minutes’ commute from central Edinburgh and within easy reach of Perth/Stirling.

Historically, we have achieved consistently high QOF points, the RCGP Quality Practice Award and have worked through Productive General Practice to ensure the Practice runs as efficiently as possible.

We are currently involved in Document Optimisation to reduce GP workflows.

We are a small single handed Practice based in Lochgelly, a semi, ex mining area. The single Practitioner is supported by a multi disciplinary team. The Clerical Staff are very friendly and helpful. Three other Practices are in the same building so it is not isolated.
