This friendly, long established and innovative practice with a commitment to providing high quality person-centred care to their patients is seeking like-minded individuals.
They launched a transformational new model of primary care inspired by the Alaskan Nuka system’s person-centred model of care in August 2016 and this is now successfully embedded into the multi-disciplinary team. The successful candidate would work in small teams, looking after a defined patient list, the aim is to optimise relationships and continuity in order improve health & wellness outcomes, use of health services and patient & staff experience.
In addition to a very dynamic attached community team based on the premises also available within their MDT setting is a successful Behavioural Health Psychology Service and social prescribing initiative with excellent links with 3rd sector.

Rural Hospital GP interested in providing in-patient and A&E care?
This post is an excellent opportunity to develop acute care skills, supported by a motivated and highly-skilled multi-disciplinary team, based in a modern and purpose-built hospital in one of the most beautiful areas in Scotland.
The post holder will provide medical care to Accident and Emergency Services, Rehabilitation Ward and the Acute Ward. The Emergency Department deals with approximately 15,000 patients per year many with relatively minor conditions but occasionally severely ill or injured patients when rapid evacuation will be required. Supervision of the role in the Emergency Department is provided by Emergency Department Consultants.
The Emergency Department is staffed by experienced nursing staff including 4 Emergency Care Practitioners who will support the post holder in providing Emergency Service – treating minor and moderate illness and injury, admitting selective patients for intermediate care within the Acute Ward, resuscitation and the transfer of more ill patients to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary by ambulance or for patients with severe trauma contacting the Emergency Medical Retrieval Service in Paisley who will helicopter in a consultant led retrieval team to transfer the patient rapidly to Glasgow.
The post holder may occasionally be required to provide medical support, in an emergency, to the midwife led Obstetric Unit, the nurse led Renal Dialysis Unit and nurse delivered Chemotherapy Service. In these settings no specialist knowledge of Obstetrics, Renal Dialysis or Chemotherapy will be expected: the standard required will be that of the ordinary doctor exercising due care.
The purpose of this role is to work with visiting consultants, permanent nursing staff and AHPs in providing the hospital with medical staff appropriately skilled to deal with a wide range of medical work encountered. The hospital also is the base for the Primary Care Out of Hours Service which is situated within the Emergency Department. During the Out of Hours periods and weekends, it is expected that the Out of Hours Primary Care GP and the Hospital Doctor will work together sharing, where appropriate the care of patients.
Your hours of work will be 44 hours per week on a shift system. You will be expected to cover all aspects of the role including overnight work, daytime hospital work and weekend work, working in either the Emergency Department or the wards depending on the rota. You will have advance notice of your part in the rota and each member of the team will rotate through all aspects of the rota and there maybe additional shifts available for you to undertake and these will attract additional remuneration. GP trained doctors may also (if they wish) undertake shifts within the General Practice Out of Hours Service by separate arrangements via a web based session booking system.
This is a unique position and requires an experienced GP looking to broaden their skills within a hospital setting.
Candidates MUST be registered with the GMC and have a licence to practice.
For an informal discussion - please contact Jo Hood in the first instance

THE POST
This is a replacement substantive consultant post to provide medical gastroenterology services in Dumfries and Galloway region. The successful candidate will join a team which comprises Consultant, Specialty Doctor and Nurse Specialist. Gastroenterology services currently include out-patient clinics, in-patient treatment for various gastroenterology disorders and a wide range of endoscopy procedures.
Gastroenterology patients are admitted in ward 10 at the Royal Infirmary. On average there are 8 - 14 patients under the care of the Gastroenterology team. The two Gastroenterologists cover the ward on a 6 week rotation (on and off the ward). The consultant covering the ward, also takes inpatient referrals. Whilst off the ward, the other consultant takes GP phone calls and triages outpatient referrals.
Liver biopsy, biologic administrations, iron infusion and therapeutic ascitic drainage are carried out in the Ambulatory Care Unit on the 23 hour ward. There are well trained nurses to help and oversee these procedures with minimal supervision from the consultants and middle graders. All liver biopsy patients are admitted under the respective consultants and the procedures are performed by radiologists under ultrasound guidance.
It is envisaged that the new gastroenterologist will strengthen and compliment the team. Subspecialty interests will be welcomed such as inflammatory bowel disease, functional bowel disorder, nutrition and oesophageal manometry. The service is supported by 1 x middle grade doctor, an FY1 ( shared on ward 10), 1 x specialty doctor, 2 x part time IBD nurses and secretaries. Funding for an additional specialty doctor post has been approved. Opportunities will be available to undertake ERCP and therapeutic endoscopy. As stated earlier, participation in oesophageal manometry is desirable.
Endoscopy procedures are carried out in 2 dedicated rooms within the Day Surgery Unit. We participate in bowel cancer screening and the unit has excellent equipment including Scope Guides in
both rooms and Olympus Lucera systems. Usual standard accessories such as APC, Clips and Gold probe are available. Oesophageal stents are deployed in one of the endoscopy rooms under
fluoroscopy guidance.
There are four Nurse endoscopists to support the service. The new hospital will have 3 endoscopy rooms which will be of great advantage. All the activities are regularly audited according to JAG
specification, following Global Rating Scale. ERCPs are performed once a week in the radiology department with modern screening facilities. PTC / biliary drainage can be arranged by the interventional radiologists.
This is a 10 PA job but additional 2 PAs can be arranged. Time for teaching and supervision of juniors will be allocated in the job plan.
THE DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE
The Medical Unit provides acute hospital medical services to the population of South-West Scotland. The Division meets once weekly to discuss the challenges of the unit, which recently have included MMC and targets for acute medical admissions. A total of 17 consultants cover the Medical Unit.
Gastroenterology services include out-patient clinics, in-patient treatment for various gastroenterology disorders and a wide range of endoscopy procedures. Further service developments are planned for the future. The successful candidate will be expected to take on oesophageal manometry studies. Opportunity will be available to undertake ERCP, therapeutic endoscopy and to train in oesophageal manometry. Hepatitis clinics are covered by the Infectious Diseases team.
We also have very strong links with Edinburgh Hepato-biliary service with MDT and Liaison Nurse Specialist who co-ordinate Hepatoma care with TACE, radioablation and visiting oncology.
Links with the Scottish Liver Transplant Unit (SLTU) are very good and supportive with shared follow up and telephone follow up. We have regional drug and alcohol services with excellent support from the local Alcohol Liaison Nurse and Consultant.
NHS Dumfries and Galloway proudly serve a population of 148,500 but within a large geographical area of about 2,400 square miles. Dumfries and Galloway stretches from Langholm in the East to Drummore in the West, and from Kirkconnel and Carsphairn in the North down to Sandyhills on the Solway Coast. The Health Board currently employs around 4500 staff excluding GPs and Dentists.
Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary is based in Dumfries and is the main hospital for the region providing a wide range of inpatient and outpatient health services. The Galloway Community Hospital serves Stranraer and the west of the region, is an intermediate unit providing maternity services, and medical & surgical beds. There are bedded units within eight cottage hospitals which provide care services such as minor injuries units. Midpark Hospital provides inpatient facilities for mental health patients.
Experienced Infectious Diseases Clinical Nurse Specialists provide care within DGRI and across the region with nurse led Hepatitis C and Hepatitis B treatment clinics including prison in-reach and collaboration with substance misuse services. There is an ongoing Hepatitis C Action Plan with local MCNs (national meetings for Regional Clinical Leads).
Candidates are required to be GMC registered with a licence to practice and on the specialist register.
