Milton Surgery is a friendly, progressive and well-established training GP Practice with a reputation for innovation and person-centered care. We are a large, high-achieving practice, consisting of circa 8,000 patients, working from custom-built premises in the Duddingston area within North East Edinburgh. We are a 5 GP Partnership, supported by 2 Salaried GPs, 1 Retainer GP (this post), 2 Practice Nurses, 1 HCA and an experienced administrative team.

We will provide a welcoming and supportive environment to allow the development of any applicant in any stage of their career. We are a supportive and fully sociable and cohesive practice team.
