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.

If you are a patient or a tourist, a medical student or simply interested in what happens at the surgery, please browse this site using the panel on the left to find out when we're open, how to contact the doctors and available facilities.

The principal GP/Trainer in the practice is Dr Susan Bowie, who has worked at Hillswick since 1988, and in Shetland since 1984. There is a full additional team including new GP, Sean Stansfield Practice Nurses Jeanette Spall and Jackie Manson, reception, secretarial, and dispensing staff, Maisie Thompson, Frances Williamson, Kelly Robertson Julie Peterson and Amelia Dowle. Health Visitor and District Nurses based at Brae provide district nursing cover. We have a midwife, Patricia Williamson also attached to the surgery. Visting practitioners used to provide on-site physiotherapy, and chiropody, Maybe when the HB gets more money we will get them back. We still have counselling from Lawrence Sutherland , thankfuly, and at the moment we don't have a visiting psychiatrist.
