Section 3 Introduction to Appointment
Job Title: Principal in General Practice
Post Summary:
We are looking to recruit two General Practitioners to work in Macduff Medical Practice which has a GMS / 17J contract to provide medical services for 12,000+ people living in North Aberdeenshire around the twin towns of Macduff and Banff.
The Practice has gone through a period of phenomenal change since 2016 when it expanded from a 2 partner Practice with 2,700 patients to its current form. During this period of transformation we have retained our commitment to giving our patients proper attention and time: where 15 minute appointment times are standard, where there is good interdisciplinary team working and we embrace new ways of achieving good quality care.
As a Principal GP you will deliver high quality medical care as part of a diverse professional team.
As part of a small group of Partners, you will have an opportunity to influence and help us shape future delivery models. We meet every week with our Practice Manager to determine our priorities and enable change in the direction we choose.
Successful candidates will have the option to develop specialist interests e.g. minor surgery, ultrasound, dermatology, teaching etc. should this be of interest. Several of our GPs have worked with Aberdeenshire Health and Social Care Partnership to develop ‘shire wide’ initiatives, so special interests can be developed at cluster or HSCP level. The GMED out‐of‐hours service can also offer sessions if this is desired.

Section 8 Working within NHS Grampian
NHS Grampian (http://www.nhsgrampian.org) provides healthcare services to the North‐East of the country, covering the local government areas administered by Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray Councils. They employ around 17,000 staff who deliver services to half a million people spread across 3,000 square miles (7,800 square kilometres) of city, town, village and rural communities. They have extremely close links to the University of Aberdeen (with its internationally renowned Medical School and new Dental School) and Robert Gordon University. These close links make NHS Grampian a centre of pioneering medical research in a number of fields.
We are proud of our heritage, proud of our area, history and traditions, and proud of the service we provide to the people of North‐East Scotland.
Aberdeen is where most of our hospitals are located. Elgin, in Moray, is the site of Dr Gray's hospital which is the principal general hospital in the west of Grampian. In addition, there are a further 14 community hospitals, situated in each of the main towns. At NHS Grampian there are thousands of dedicated staff, all striving to provide the highest quality of healthcare, including almost every major medical specialty, to the population of North‐East Scotland. NHS Grampian is extremely proud of all of them.
People matter at NHS Grampian and they welcome applications from every sector of the community.
We enjoy close links with the University of Aberdeen (http://www.abdn.ac.uk) whose Medical School is renowned for preparing its medical students to become doctors.
Hospitals
Chalmers Hospital, based in Banff, is the local community hospital with 16 GP beds. Aberdeenshire has a network of community hospitals which co‐operate to provide a range of intermediate care services. Dr Iain Brooker is currently the medical director of Chalmers. There are similar units in Fraserburgh, Turriff and Huntly. Fraserburgh has a stroke rehabilitation unit, Turriff provides cardiology assessment (exercise ECG, Holter and echocardiogram), Huntly provides an out‐of‐hours GMED base. Chalmers has ultrasound, x‐ray, and minor surgery and endoscopy facilities. This is not an exhaustive list, but illustrates the collaborative network that exists across Aberdeenshire to provide a range of services closer to our community.
Our main hospital services are provided in Aberdeen, where the acute services share an integrated site at Foresterhill. Mental Health services are based at Royal Cornhill Hospital. This centre is approximately 1 hour drive from Banff and Macduff. Dr Gray’s Hospital is a small district general hospital, 45 minutes drive in a westerly direction. We can access radiology

services including CT scan there, and our patients value easier access to general surgical services at Dr Gray’s.
Our laboratory service is based in Aberdeen, and there is an excellent electronic ordering system for the tests we routinely request. NHS Grampian maintain a shared resource of guidelines available electronically on the intranet pages, which allows us to refer to secondary care efficiently.
Management Structure
NHS Grampian is responsible for both primary and secondary care services and is accountable directly to the Scottish Government Health Directorate.
Primary Care is integrated into the overall structure via the Integrated Joint Board (IJB). The IJB operates through health and social care partnerships for Moray, Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire.
Aberdeenshire HSCP operates in three divisions covering geographical areas of south, central and North Aberdeenshire. Board philosophy is to involve and work closely with senior clinicians regarding major aspects of health care management and strategy.
Macduff Medical Practice is an independent contractor, operating as a partnership of doctors, within North Aberdeenshire HSCP.
Within the Practice, all partners have equal standing, and we reach decisions by agreement.
