Focus on: General Practice Receptionists and First Contact Physiotherapy
General Practice Receptionists
General Practice receptionists are also patient advisers. By asking a few simple questions, a GP receptionist can help identify which member of the practice team it would be best for you to see. There are a lot of different experts including pharmacists, physiotherapists, nurses, paramedics and social prescribers. The receptionist can help you find the right one for your healthcare needs. Click the video below to find out more:
We have opportunities for:
- a general practice receptionist at St Margaret’s Health Centre in Auchterarder – contact Sheila Beck on 01764 662275 for further details or to request an application form email [email protected]. Closing date is Monday 28 March 2022.

First Contact Physiotherapy
The First Contact Physiotherapy model (FCP) is an alternative to GP appointments for musculoskeletal problems (MSK). It means that, instead of seeing a GP about a new muscle, joint or back problem, you will be given an appointment with a senior Physiotherapist. So your first contact will be with the physiotherapist, not the doctor. Find out more.
We have an exciting opportunity for Highly Specialist Physiotherapists in Dundee – apply by Thursday 31 March 2022
