Welcome!

Welcome to the web site of the Old Machar Medical Practice.

This longstanding practice has served the needs of the local community since 1901.  Originally a two-doctor practice, we now have six full-time partners, three part-time partners, two part-time assistants, and are a training practice for new GP trainees, medical students, and nursing students.  We aim to provide a friendly and high quality medical service tailored to the needs of our patients.

This web site is designed to help you make the most of the services the practice provides, and we hope you will find it useful.

Training/Education

Old Machar Medical Practice is committed to the development of General Practice and as such has developed an active interest in assisting medical and nursing education. As a result we are involved in the teaching of postgraduate doctors who wish to become general practitioners, undergraduate medical students who are on the road to becoming doctors, and student nurses.

GP Specialty training -  qualified doctors who wish to become General Practitioners have to undertake eighteen months training in an approved practice. The Old Machar Medical Practice has been a training practice since 2002.

Medical students  - recently the emphasis for undergraduate medical education has moved more from hospitals to Primary Care. Students from first year onwards are taught in the Old Machar Medical Practice where they experience all areas of Primary Care.

Video sessions - we may on occasion use video recording equipment in consultation as part of the teaching process. A patients consent for this will always be requested beforehand.

It is hoped that all patients will assist with these educational initiatives but if you wish to see the doctor alone please do not hesitate to ask for the student to leave or the video camera to be switched off.
