We are a semi-rural practice serving Neilston, Uplawmoor and the surrounding farms. We have 3500 patients. Our trainers are Senga Capaldi and Val Dudgeon.

We have four partners and one retainer. All partners act as medical officers for a local dementia unit and one partner is the Clinical Director for East Renfrewshire.

The surgery provides all the medical services of a typical general practice including minor surgery, joint injection and cryotherapy. We run a monthly diabetic clinic with the practice nurse providing full care for the practice’s type 2 diabetics.

The structure of the practice has been specifically arranged to facilitate supervision and education assistance from the partners. Our trainee is encouraged to identify their learning needs and we are happy to help address these either in house or by arranging support elsewhere.

As a small friendly practice we have time to spend with our registrar to support and guide them through the training year. We have had great feedback from our previous trainees – one of them is now a partner with us.
