Kingussie Medical Practice Gynack Road, Ardvonie Park, Kingussie PH21 1ET
Kingussie and Laggan Medical Practices are looking for GP maternity cover, based in Kingussie, starting around November 2025, for 12 months.
Ideally, we are looking for cover for 6 sessions a week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.
The two Practices sit in the Cairngorms National Park and serve the southern A9 area in Highland. Its a great location for taking advantage of the surroundings for a walk, run, or cycle after work! We are under an hour from Inverness and just over an hour from Perth.
We are a 4-Partner Practice with a patient list of around 3500 across both practices. Our friendly team consists of 3 salaried GPs, 1-2 GP registrars in practice, 1 nurse practitioner, 2 nurses, 2 HCAs and our helpful reception and administrative team. Our main computer systems are Vision, Docman and Microsoft Office.
Typical days consist of a morning and afternoon session. Appointment sessions are 15minutes per patient with a 15minute break at the midpoint and are for a maximum 12 consults per session. There are a small number of prescriptions to be helped with each day. Any additional workload eg: results checking for the Practice or supervisory time for GP trainees is deducted from the 12 slots. Duty sessions include a mixture of queries, home visits, and/or appointments made by the duty GP themselves as required. All our appointment slots can be phone-calls or face to face, but we find most patients prefer to book face to face appointments.
We provide BASICs cover and therefore training in this is desirable. Staff at the surgery provide a range of services including minor surgery, minor injury management, joint injection, dermatology, IUCDs, contraceptive implants and menopause care.
We have an MDT meeting on a Wednesday morning and a small group educational session on a Friday morning, which we would welcome our successful applicant to attend.
We work closely with our MDT of community nursing, primary mental health team and midwives as well as having Physio, Pharmacy and Mental health workers on site each week.
