Medical Education

Information for Medical Students

Dr Ward is a tutor with Aberdeen University and students are therefore periodically attached to the Practice.

We are a small rural practice with 2 part time GPs.

The practice is based in a purpose built Health Centre shared with the Community Nursing Team and Scottish Ambulance Service Paramedics.

Our students have the use of their own room with internet access.

The village has a small population of around 1800.

The traditional industry is fishing but tourism is of increasing importance.

Accommodation for Students is usually self-catering in the village or out at West Loch Shores.

Transport links: the Glasgow bus runs three times a day check www.citylink.co.uk for times and book in advance for cheaper fares.

There are ferry links close by to Arran , Islay (and on to Jura) , Gigha and the Cowal peninsula.

Mobile phone coverage is generally good but can be poor for some networks.
