Jura Looking For A New Doctor

[John]

Are there any doctors amongst the forum members who is looking for a change of location

Residents of Jura have launched an internet campaign to find a new doctor for the island.

The 200 islanders want a resident GP, but adverts placed in medical journals failed to attract any candidates.

They have now launched a Facebook campaign and are offering discounted accommodation and ferry travel to anyone who is interested in the post.

And they have promised a bottle of Jura whisky as a finder's fee to anyone who helps them land the right candidate.

Jura boasts picturesque beaches, an abundance of wildlife, a bar, shop and even a world-famous whisky distillery.

But it has been without a permanent GP for more than a year, and has had to rely on locum cover.

I would have thought this would have been of interest to a lot of doctors, a great place to live and bring up a family i would have thought, perhaps they are not paying enough.
