Our Community

An eighty-minute drive southwest from Halifax, Liverpool is quintessential small-town Canada. On one side of the picturesque Mersey River, you’ll find lots of functional amenities, including direct highway access, two large grocery stores, retail storefronts, and the Queens Place Emera Centre, which features a full-size ice rink, fitness centre, and outdoor recreation space boasting a state-of-the-art, professionally designed skate park, splash pad, accessible playground and more (with a new outdoor pool currently under construction).

However, you’ll find Liverpool’s true charm as you cross its iconic blue bridge spanning the Mersey and enter the walkable historic downtown. A quiet throwback to a simpler time, it boasts a locally-owned bakery, coffee shop, café, pub, craft brewery, boutique shops, salons, two pharmacies, two pizzerias, a florist, museums, and the crown jewel of our downtown: The historic Astor Theatre, where you’ll find year-round offerings of live music, theatrical performances, film festivals, and much more.

In addition to all of this, venturing just outside of town opens up another array of amenities: the extensive trail system radiating from Pine Grove Park, under-the-radar surfing spots, multiple white sand beaches, historic lighthouses, two beach resorts, and a number of hidden gem eateries, gift shops, and general stores all lie within a twenty-minute drive of downtown. Wherever your interests lie, the greater Liverpool area has something great to offer.

Physicians here join the rest of their colleagues in Nova Scotia in providing fulfilling patient care in an environment that strives to foster a balance between family life, professional development, and community involvement: That's what makes practicing medicine in Nova Scotia unique. You have the opportunity to be part of a team where peer consults are expected and welcomed rather than avoided, and where providing quality patient care to the people we share this beautiful part of the world with is paramount.

If these values resonate with you, we encourage you to join our team and be a part of that mission.

Queens General Hospital (QGH) in Liverpool, Nova Scotia, has an opportunity for a family medicine physician to join our Hospitalist Service to provide inpatient care one to two weeks per month.

As a family physician, we know your skills are in high demand - but we are confident a look around our community and hospital will show them to be worthy venues for you to employ them:

Queens General Hospital, in operation since 1949, is a 22-bed acute care community hospital offering non-ICU level inpatient care and a full-service Emergency Department.

In 2014 the facility underwent a massive transformative renovation which modernized existing spaces and created new space for a Collaborative Care wing and the Queens Family Health Primary Care Clinic.

Among the most modern community hospitals in Nova Scotia, QGH is the pride of Queens County - a point illustrated by the fact that 90% of the funding for the 2014 renovation was raised locally.

The entire medical community here values a team-based approach to medicine that spans roles and specialties, and the combination of that teamwork and our modernized facilities makes it possible for us to keep our friends and neighbors in our community with emphasis on avoiding transfer wherever possible
