My wife and I am from this area and following completion of training in Glasgow we missed living by the coast and realised this would be a fantastic place to have and raise a family. It offered us increased family support, affordable high quality housing, great nurseries and schools and offered an easy commute by train or road to Glasgow. This has allowed my wife to progress her career as […] - [Our new website is live!](https://ayrshireandarrangp.co.uk/our-new-website-is-live/): We are delighted to announce the launch of our new website with a renewed focus on the MDT and the contributions that all of our colleagues make to the primary care team that delivers the right care, from the right person, to the right person at the right time!

The education and tutelage I received over the years at my training practice with an excellent trainer, Dr Aileen McGregor, was key in my decision to relocate. My current development post facilitates my special interest in geriatrics and provides management experience in addition to allowing me to continue to work in a well-managed practice in Irvine. The team there are incredibly friendly and I have excellent support from one of the geriatricians at Ayr hospital.  […] - [Dr Chris Black (GP)](https://ayrshireandarrangp.co.uk/colleague-story-dr-chris-black/): Having been born in Ayrshire, my family moved away from the area when I was young.  However, I returned following graduation to a medical post at Ayr Hospital in 2004.  I was a medical SHO at Ayr for 3 years before taking the decision to become a GP.  I trained locally in Ayrshire and the training experience that I had in Ayrshire was excellent and I would commend it to anyone thinking about undertaking GP training.  The practices are supportive and there is an active programme of educational activity along with the residential events twice a year. Since becoming a […] - [Dr Martin McKee (GP)](https://ayrshireandarrangp.co.uk/colleague-story-dr-martin-mckee/): I first joined Kilwinning Medical Practice as a newly qualified GP in August 2017. I have a background in Community Pharmacy before studying Medicine at the University of Glasgow and completed my post graduate medical training between Greater Glasgow and Clyde and Forth Valley Health Boards.

We have been able to adapt in order to meet increasing demand whilst still providing high quality service to our […] - [Dr Laura McCusker (GPwER)](https://ayrshireandarrangp.co.uk/colleague-story-dr-laura-mccusker/): Following completing my FY2 year in Ayrshire, I worked in Melbourne for 4 years.

I live in the West End of Glasgow and commute to Barns Medical Practice in Ayr 3-4 days per week which takes about 45 minutes. I chose Ayrshire and Arran for a number of reasons. For training: I enjoyed a busy but fun year as an FY2, particularly in A+E. I feel that DGH’s are perfectly suited for generalist specialties like GP due to a large exposure of ‘common’ presentations. I wanted to work in Ayrshire in the future and felt that […] ## Pages - [Training Practices Staging](https://ayrshireandarrangp.co.uk/training-practices-staging/): Ayrshire has 23 training practices across North Ayrshire, South Ayrshire, East Ayrshire and Arran.
