Nairn Healthcare Group - Personnel Changes

Here at the Gurn we had been hearing rumours recently that one or two partners may have been planning to leave the surgery (Nairn Healthcare Group) at the hospital. We inquired and the practice manager Barbara Graham told the Gurn:

"I can confirm that we have 2 practice Partners who have resigned and are currently working their notice. Dr Flynn will leave mid-Feb 2013, and Dr Stanfield at the end of April 2013.
We are currently recruiting their replacements, and I am delighted to say that we have already found one very experienced Highland-based GP, Dr Andrew Evenett, who will take up a Partnership post in July 2013. We are holding interviews in late January to find another replacement."

I just hope that if either of the GP's that are leaving are retiring, that they manage to survive ok on the alleged £50K pension for doctors. Maybe we should start a collection?

@ winter fuel allowance
Where do you get that figure from?

Here's one source, sorry only £46,000 at present!

These are uncertain times, maybe 50K will only get you a bag of crisps in a year or two's time?

£50K as a salary for two of us let alone a pension would be beyond our wildest dreams. Stuff of lottery winners for an ordinary Nairn family!

No doubt our GP's have earned it?!

Neither doctor is retiring.

Perhaps such vitriol may suggest the need for some sort of anti-acid prescription.....

Good to see that Nairn Healthcare are letting folk know. Much better than idle speculation.
Best wishes to Drs Stanfield and Flynn.

@ Spurtle

Neither person may be retiring just yet, but comforting to see they won't be destitute as and when they do

Personally I haven't got a problem with retired GPs getting the sum quoted. It seems Sugar Pill and winter fuel allowance have though. It's the season of goodwill however, so let's leave it there shall we.
