Salaried GP

Torry Medical Practice, Oscar Rd, Torry, Aberdeen AB11 8ER.

We're excited to be looking for a General Practitioner to join our experienced and close-knit team, based in Torry Medical Practice.

About the Practice

River Dee Medical Group is the first community interest company (CIC) to provide primary healthcare services in Scotland. We have a strong ethos of delivering innovative patient centred care to the communities we serve. We also have a commitment to engagement with our communities to help support their priorities for health and wellbeing. In both communities, we aim to provide responsive but sustainable and holistic care.

We are passionate about education, training and staff development. We are a training practice for both undergraduate and postgraduate students and have a multidisciplinary teaching programme for pharmacists, nurses and doctors.

We practice mutually supportive working which enables both patient centred care and fulfilling therapeutic and professional relationships. We also recognise a healthy work-life balance is key to a long and productive career. We protect individual clinical workloads and our booking system allows for autonomy of workload management, whilst never losing sight of the need to provide a responsive service to our patients. A key element of this is close collaborative working with trusted colleagues within a tight and well organised team. Additionally, we offer mentoring to newly qualified GPs to support them in their new career.

River Dee Medical Group runs two medical practices at present: Camphill Medical Practice and Torry Medical Practice.

Camphill Medical Practice

Camphill is a small practice with a practice list of around 2,500 patients. The practice is located on the beautiful Murtle Estate in Aberdeen. The patient group is diverse, containing a concentrated learning disability community who make up approximately 25% of the patient list. Healthcare is delivered both at the practice and onsite in the residential community of Newton Dee. Clinical lead, Dr Stefan Geider, and another GP also have an interest in AnthroHealth.

Torry Medical Practice

Torry Medical Practice, led by Dr Adrian Crofton, is co located in purpose built premises which allow for friendly working within the larger MDT. This includes health visitors, community nurses, physiotherapists, CPNs and midwives as well as third sector services such as counselling. This wider team helps provide holistic care to our patient group. The patient list is approximately 7,000 patients and our practice boundary is relatively small and well defined, further enhancing the scope for community engagement and effective MDT working. There are significant areas of deprivation within the practice area, and the population is extremely diverse with a large immigrant population from all corners of the globe. This makes for very stimulating, varied and rewarding clinical experience. An interest in health inequalities would be desirable.

Clinical Services

Both practices have fully established nurse led chronic disease management, and practice employed in house pharmacotherapy services five days per week. Both practices are actively engaged in the greener practices programme. We place a great deal of importance on development of relationships with the community. We also contribute to the local community council as well as engaging with local schools.

Role Overview

If you are an established GP with a love for teaching, an interest in health inequalities and want to be part of a forward looking innovative team that believes passionately in the potential of primary care, then please apply. Experience of minor surgery would also be beneficial.

We currently have a vacancy for a 4 session GP at Torry Medical Practice. Members of the Group are also entitled to seniority payments and new GPs in the area can also claim Golden Hello awards.
