Bridge of Allan Health Centre are welcoming applications from qualified GPs or GP trainees who are interested in joining our team as a GP retainer.
We are a supportive and welcoming Practice and have abundant experience in offering excellent teaching and support to all of our clinical staff. As well as being an accredited GP Retainer Scheme Practice, we are also currently accredited as a Training Practice for GP Trainees and for Medical Students from Glasgow and Dundee.
Dr Niamh Mullins and Dr Claire Clark are the accredited GP Trainers with Dr Aaron Crookshanks and Dr Gwen Reid leading the Medical Student Placements. Dr Corrine Potts will be the GP Partner leading your support through the attachment with our Practice. Dr Corrine Potts completed her undergraduate studies in Dundee before completing her GP Training in NHS Forth Valley. After training Dr Potts gained experience by locuming across various Health Centres in Forth Valley and also by working in Out of Hours. Dr Potts joined Bridge of Allan Health Centre as a GP Partner in 2024.
We employ a Practice Nurse and Health Care Assistant who work from the Practice and have a full complement of administrative staff. We have a full allocation of PCIP staff with 4 sessions of ANP, 4 sessions of PCMHN, 3 sessions of APP, 4 sessions of CTAC, full Pharmacy allocation and 2 Care Home ANPS who cover our nursing home Wallace View. We also currently have three GP registrars attached to the Practice who complete the compliment of clinical staff.
We are committed to providing the successful candidate with the best support and training that we can while taking into account each doctor’s individual needs in terms of CPD. We acknowledge that doctors joining the GP Retainer Scheme are often looking for flexibility in working days and we are keen to be as flexible as possible when it comes to working days and working hours. Although we have a duty doctor each day there is no obligation to rotate through this.
Salary will be negotiable as per the BMA pay circular dependent upon experience, additional skills and willingness to take on extra responsibility (which is not expected necessarily). The start date for the post is negotiable and we are happy to wait on the most suitable candidate.
