General Practitioner (GP) in Dundee

Ideally, you are a GP that values teamwork, patient continuity and innovation. We are lucky to have two of the newest buildings in the area to work in, thus making our working environment a very modern one. We are proud to be one of the largest practices locally with over 25,000 patients and growing, with a wide spread of patient demographics.

Main duties of the job

As a salaried GP, you will hold a personal list of patients, to enable the best possible continuity of relationships. We support you with the availability of a Personal Assistant, an excellent Nursing Team, including Mental Health provision, First Contact Physios and Pharmacists.

About us

We are proud of being a larger organisation, with the efficiencies that brings. We focus on staff wellbeing to ensure we operate as one team. We take time out for coffee breaks every day and hold two clinical meetings per week, to encourage our clinicians to collaborate and support each other. We fund socials and wellbeing initiatives, to make improvements to our working environment.

With this population size we are able to offer GPs choice of specialist interests and we allocate a personal assistant to each GP to minimise the administrative work and focus on looking after the patients. The clinical team currently consists of; GPs, ANPs, Nurse Prescribers, Practice Nurses, Mental Health Nurse, Mental Health Support Workers, HCAs, Pharmacists and Physiotherapists. We are also very keen on teaching: We have a couple of GP Fellows, a GP trainer, GP Teachers looking after 3rd, 4th and 5th Medical Students from the local University.

Our core values are centred around Continuity as we believe that to be the cornerstone of Primary Care. We support Continuity every day with our values: Respect, Teamwork and Confidentiality. We are focussing on the NHS 10 Year Plan and the idea of Neighbourhoods and Integrated Neighbourhood Teams, as we work towards single and multiple provider contracts. We host a "Friendship Cafe", run by patients, for patients. It is an open space, without clinical input, primarily aimed at giving patients a place to have a friendly chat and connect with others.
