Carrie McCrea M.B., Ch.B., MRCP, MRCGP

Dr McCrea works under the auspices of the General Practice Retainer Scheme - part of NHS Education for Scotland. The Retainer Scheme is designed to support doctors, who because of domestic or personal reason are unable to commit themselves to full time or to substantive General Practice. The intention of the scheme is to allow doctors to maintain and develop their skills and thus enable them to return to a permanent post when circumstances permit. The maximum length of time in the scheme is five years. Dr McCrea works 4 sessions a week.
 
Dr Gautam Reddy M.B., Ch.B.

Registrars are fully qualified doctors who are with us for one year to learn about General Practice Medicine as part of their overall medical training. They see patients throughout their year with us and are supported within the practice by one of the partners who is a designated trainer. Occasionally consultations may be videoed for training and assessment purposes. You will be informed beforehand if recording is to happen. Recording will only take place with your signed consent. Your refusal to take part will not affect your consultation.
