General Practitioner

Join our welcoming practice in the beautiful village of Lanchester, just a short distance from Durham. We care for a patient list of around 4,100 and are proud to have a loyal, longstanding team, with some colleagues having been with the practice for over 25 years. The role is based in a modern, purpose built building, where you'll work alongside an excellent administrative and clinical team who are wholeheartedly committed to delivering the high standard of care our patients deserve.

Following a recent CQC inspection, the practice has been actively rebuilding and strengthening its systems creating a positive environment focused on continuous improvement and innovation. This post is for a 6 session GP, with the potential to increase sessions if the successful candidate can provide joint injections, minor surgery, or other enhanced services. Preferred working days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, although there is scope for flexibility. The clinical team consists of one GP Partner, two ANPs, two Practice Nurses, one Nurse Associate, one HCA, and a pharmacy team comprising one Pharmacist and one Pharmacy Technician.

We are seeking an experienced GP who is ready for a new challenge. Someone who enjoys hands on clinical work, is committed to supporting colleagues, and is keen to play an active role in driving the practice forward.

Lanchester Medical Centre has a patient list of 4100 and is based in the heart of the village, 8 miles west of Durham and 5 miles from Consett. It has a highly supportive and active patient participation group who are also devoted to ensuring improvements are made.
