Drumnadrochit Medical Practice

Salaried GP in Rural Practice

Part Time, Fixed Term Position - 28.5 hours / 3 days per week

Salary scale £92,677 to £104,468 per annum

Lying close to the shores of Loch Ness, Drumnadrochit is the beautiful highland setting of Drumnadrochit Medical Practice.

The practice has three substantive GPs (82 hours / 2.05WTE) plus this vacant post (28.5 hours). There is a full administrative support team, a Practice Nurse and Health Care Assistant for a practice population of approximately 2400 patients. The practice also has input from Community Nursing, the Macmillan Service, a Clinical Pharmacist, First Contact Physiotherapist, Community Mental Health worker, visiting Podiatrist and Midwife. Other local services include a supportive pharmacy right next door and in nearby Dingwall, the Puffin Pool takes referrals for physiotherapy hydrotherapy needs.

The practice premises were purpose built in 2015 and provide excellent, spacious, modern accommodation. The GP rota involves split shift of duty doctor, so there are only occasional days when all day on-call duty is required. There is no out of hours commitment. There are no care homes or nursing homes in the area but there is a very supportive, elderly day care centre.

A daily clinical meeting takes place to discuss and review all clinical results and letters by the medical team and practice nurse. There are regular GP meetings, Practice Meetings for the whole team and the Practice Quality Lead links into the Black Isle Corridor Cluster. Drumnadrochit Medical Practice Patient Participation Group was established in 2002 and continues to actively meet. The practice uses the Vision clinical system, Docman for receiving electronic results and letters from secondary care, and has Windows 10 operating system.

The practice population is based mainly in Drumnadrochit, although the practice boundary does extend further and includes Tomich and to the outskirts of Cannich. We are near Glen Affric, which is often described as “the most beautiful glen in Scotland”, and the instantly recognisable Urquhart Castle. The practice is only 15 miles from the city of Inverness, where you will find Raigmore, the main hospital of the Highlands. The nearest railway station is also in Inverness and Inverness airport is 24 miles from Drumnadrochit.

Drumnadrochit is a vibrant local community with many amenities, including a supermarket, cafes, restaurants, takeaways, hotels and churches. There is an educational campus that includes nursery, primary and secondary schools. The Craigmonie Centre is a community centre integrated with Glen Urquhart High School and includes a wide range of facilities, such as a 200-seat theatre, games hall, floodlit pitch, fitness room and library. The centre hosts a range of activities and education. The community also comes together for the Highland Games or annual Fireworks display or summer activities such as the Art and Craft Markets on the village green. Enjoy village life, explore the rural lochs, hills and glens or take a short drive to Inverness for city life, Drumnadrochit is ideally placed to enjoy the variety of experience the Highlands can offer

Becoming part of this friendly and co-operative team will offer you work in a stunning location and embrace the unique challenges and opportunities presented by rural practice.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay.  This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff.  This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours.  However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week.  If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.
