Inverurie Medical Practice is one of Scotland's biggest, with more than 25,000 patients.
'Recruitment remains challenging'
Practice partner Dr Sheeja Kolangara said: "The decision to end our contract was incredibly difficult and as a partnership of GPs we really felt that we had done all that we could."Whilst GP recruitment will remain challenging, we believe that making the changes we have identified we will be in a good position to continue into the future."
Aberdeenshire Health and Social Care Partnership - which runs services for Aberdeenshire Council and NHS Grampian - could have taken on the NHS practice itself if new operators were not found to run the service. Central Aberdeenshire interim partnership manager Alex Pirrie said: "Our team has been working closely with Inverurie Medical Group.
"We welcome their decision and look forward to continuing our close working relationship with them and their patients."
