The majority of time is working alongside GP Rural Practitioners at the community hospital in Lamlash.

This includes ED presentations, stabilisation and transfer by helicopter and ferry, and inpatient care.

One day per week is based in the GP Surgery, at different sites across Arran. 

You will always work alongside an experience Rural GP and there is a lot of time for 1 to 1 teaching.

There is opportunity to join outpatient clinics on the island and some GPs have secondary care roles with the chance to gain experience in fracture clinic, gynaecology and menopause services and the mountain rescue team. 

Arran is a beautiful island, with spectacular mountains, beaches and opportunities for hiking, biking and exploring. There are great gym and swimming pools and a vibrant social scene.

The post has high quality free accommodation in a small ex–Hotel in Brodick. 

Arran offers all the benefits of island life – there is very little crime and a great sense of community, yet it is highly accessible.

Travel by ferry takes 50-80 mins, with Glasgow under an hour away from the port.

Passenger fares are good value and there is support for travel costs with 3 return car ferry journeys reimbursed. 

This post can support 2 hours per week self-development time - a flexible approach can be taken to combine these hours to e.g to allow flexible travel back and forward from Arran and to link with other training opportunities that may require mainland travel/stays.

There is dedicated tutorial time with the supervising GP each week.
