A beautiful remote island with stunning views is offering £150k salaries to attract new doctors to live and work there. Located in one of the most remote areas of Scotland, the GP practices serving the Hebridean islands of Uist and Benbecula have come up with the lucrative job offer.
Based at Benbecula Medical Practice, NHS Western Isles is offering a 40 percent “enhanced rate” above a typical salary to attract a new team of rural GPS.
The team is looking for doctors with a “sense of adventure and passion for rural medicine”, reports BBC.
The team would cater to the group of six islands in the Outer Hebrides, with a combined population of about 4,700 people. The health board said a big incentive was the opportunity to work in one of the UK’s “most beautiful and idyllic locations”.
However, the successful applicants will also get relocation expenses to help move to the islands, as well as a “golden hello” payment of up to £10,000.
