Situated on the Eastern outskirts of the light industrial town of Irvine in Ayrshire, Bourtreehill is a 6 GP partner medical practice which is consistently achieving high quality standards within its contract with NHS Ayrshire and Arran. The practice is accredited by the NHS Education West of Scotland Region as a Training Practice. It provides essential, additional and enhanced services, along with a range of other doctors' surgery services including acupuncture and "GP with Special Interest" dermatology to a typically representative and predominantly younger population.

Resident in a purpose built health centre in the community they serve, the GP Doctors purchased the premises from the Ayrshire and Arran Primary Care NHS Trust in December 2002. A full refurbishment and 34% expansion of the premises was conducted in 2003. Within the Centre the GPs provide accommodation for and work in cooperation with Community Nurses and Health Professionals, as well as their own Practice Nurses and administrative support.

Our website gives details of our doctors and services, a range of information from our current issue leaflet, and practice news. For patients, it shows how to use the facilities and help the clinicians and staff to everyone's benefit. If you are not a patient or a prospective patient, you should of course consult your own doctor for your needs, but welcome anyway.
