To apply please email helen.marsden@nhs.scot with your CV and the days you’d be interested in. Please call 07411 269 315 if you’d like to chat first. Informal visits can be arranged for the right candidates, so you can meet the GP Partners and wider team.
If you’re a GP who wants to provide high quality care in a community with high health needs – but also wants work-life balance – this could be the place for you!
GP workload at Riverside is carefully managed, with 20 x 15 minute appointments a day and two telephone slots. Duty doctor days are shared out equally between GPs. Home visit days are also shared equally, and supported by our specialist paramedic who conducts a large proportion of the visits. You’ll have access to your own pre-bookable phone and F2F slots so you can follow up on patients where needed, with dedicated time set aside each day for your admin.
We’re a large surgery (list size c. 20,000) located in an area with significant health inequality – so we’re looking for GPs who are passionate about working in this type of environment and who really want to make a difference.
