6-8 Session Salaried GP, Main Street Medical Centre

At Main Street Medical Centre we are a busy, well-organised GP Training Practice, undergoing steady growth to our list as a result of local housing initiatives. Our clinical team consists of 4 GP Partners, 3 Salaried GPs, 2 PNs, 2 HCAs and GP Trainees. We have a knowledgeable and skilled administration team who support our Clinicians. We are a stand-alone Practice operating in the heart of the Bridgeton Community with attached staff who include:

• Health Visiting Team
• Pharmacist and Pharmacy Technicians
• Advanced Practitioner Physiotherapist
• Community Link Worker
• Whole family well being support
• Welfare rights worker

Alongside the day to day GP workload we are involved in a number of projects with some of those themes overlapping and which include missingness and frailty. We believe in leading the way so we’re often involved in pilot projects with HPV Self swab being one of our current pilots.

We wish to expand our team by welcoming a 6-8 session Salaried GP to join us. We offer free on-site parking. The surgery also has good public transport links being in close proximity to Bridgeton train station and other public transport options.

Our current patient list is bordering 9000, and although we have recently reduced our geographic area, we find with the ongoing building and development of the Clyde Gateway project our patient numbers are on a steady growth trajectory. We have a diverse and wide ranging mix of patients with differing needs in one of the most deprived areas of Glasgow.

We pride ourselves on our collaborative and supportive working environment. Regular multidisciplinary meetings with our District Nursing and Health Visiting teams help ensure excellent communication and continuity of care for our patients.
