NHS aims to tempt at least five doctors to move to the Uists and Benbecula amid recruitment crisis
Wanted: family doctors to enjoy a life of adventure, “shimmering beaches” and an idyllic landscape. And if that is not enough, what about earning nearly £150,000 a year to work a 40-hour week?
That record salary is being offered by NHS executives in the Western Isles in a fresh effort to solve a recruitment crisis at one of the remotest medical practices in the UK, serving the dispersed communities of the Uists and Benbecula.
