General Practitioner Locum Scottish Highlands

Overview

I have a cluster of GP Practices in Wick/Thurso, Highlands needing locum GP cover for the following weeks:

• W/C 2nd February
• W/C 9th February
• W/C 16th February
• W/C 23rd February
• W/C 9th March
• W/C 16th March
• W/C 23rd March

Good daily rates (paid via payroll). You would need to arrange accommodation if required; there are nice air B&Bs close by.

Hours are Mon - Fri 8am - 6pm, there is no on call.

With approximately 7,500 patients, the Wick practice is a unique combination of exciting medicine in a tranquil part of Scotland.

GP appointments are 15 minutes and are a mix of telephone, face-to-face and video (Near Me) consultations. Appointment numbers are capped. You will be asked to do some Docman work and there may be a requirement to undertake a duty doctor role, consisting of telephone triage and face-to-face appointments.

Usually 11 patients AM, 12 patients PM.

Break is from 11am-2pm, this is when Docman, referrals, scripts, home visits and lunch can be done.

They are very well supported by Caithness General Hospital (CGH) and links with Raigmore Hospital in Inverness are good. Full laboratory services are available within CGH as well as diagnostic radiology facilities.

Their MDT is well established. They have an excellent ANPs, Paramedic, First Contact Physios, Pharmacy teams, support, Advanced Mental Health nurse as well as Practice Nursing and HCA's. You will be working alongside other GPs/ANP/PN/HCA/Pharmacists/Pharmacy Techs.

The Clinical Support team are very experienced and supportive.
