About Us

From our humble beginnings in 1896, when Dr John Innes began a surgery inside a chemist shop, today Elmbank is a 6 partner practice operating out of the Foresterhill Health Centre. Having maintained a system of clinical excellence, our proud tradition as a training practice also continues.

At any one time Elmbank is not just home to 6 GP partners and respective trainee registrars, but also a variety of other GPs, nurse practitioners, experienced practice nurses, dedicated auxiliary teams and a host of attached personnel such as health visitors, district nurses, midwives and counsellors.

The practice gained its name when the founding Dr Innes’ son, John Alexander, moved the practice to Elmbank Terrace; more than 90 years later, we are still emblazoned with that Elmbank tree on our logo.
