Welcome to the website for the Hillswick Health Centre.
The practice area covers the northernmost part of the Shetland Mainland, Northmavine, which is perhaps the most scenic area of Shetland.
The surgery provides medical care to roughly 750 people throughout Northmavine, including Ollaberry, North Roe, Sullom, Eshaness and Hillswick itself.
It is an established training practice for medical students. It is a dispensing practice with a fully-equipped small dispensary.
We are also Shetland's yellow fever centre. We charge £70 and can organise other travel vaccinations by arrangement
The principal GP in the practice is Dr Susan Bowie, who has worked at Hillswick since 1988, and in Shetland since 1984. We also have Associate GP, the very experienced Andy Muir. There is a full additional team including Practice Nurses Jeanette Spall and Jackie Manson, reception, secretarial, and dispensing staff Julie Peterson, Frances Williamson, Carol Sandison and Kelly Robertson. Attached to our team we have the wonderful health promotion specialist, Astryd Jamieson.
Health Visitor and District Nurses based at Brae provide district nursing cover. We have a midwife,Theresa, also attached to the surgery. We have counselling from Lawrence Sutherland.
For all enquiries and out of hour emergencies phone 01806 503 277.

Wishing everyone a Good Yule and a peaceful New year!
A lot has happened this year, 2018. Andy is due to retire (again) but will be staying on to help 10 weeks of the year, at least until we have appointed a new Associate. Ben Herring who joined us before, will be joining us for 4 weeks of this coming year.
We have gained the polycrub which has been a huge success. Please feel free to go in for a look.
We are looking for a new colleague to work with Susan. If you know of anyone interested please point them in our direction.
