We aim to provide care in a supportive environment where all team members can discuss cases when needed. We would welcome applications from newly qualified GPs, with additional support and mentoring available if required. The practice is committed to maintaining high standards of care while providing a supportive working environment for all staff.

Key Responsibilities

As a GP Practice which is part of Northumbria Primary Care Ltd (NPC), we work with flexibility and independently to run the surgery based on what is best for our patients and staff. We have the regular and consistent support of the management team to help us focus on what is clinically important.

We work closely with our Multidisciplinary Team (MDT), including a highly skilled group of practice nurses and a physician’s associate. We have excellent support from our Primary Care Network (PCN) with pharmacy services, community mental health worker support, and social prescribing capabilities.

About Us

NPC is a pioneering partnership with local GPs and now manages several GP practices with around 120,000 registered patients in Northumberland and North Tyneside. As an NPC GP, you’ll join an organization that values innovation and patient-centered care.

We offer numerous benefits to our GPs including opportunities for portfolio working and development of specialist clinical interest roles. You’ll have access to all benefits of Northumbria healthcare including lease cars, home electronics, and health and wellbeing offers. Education is prioritized with monthly education timeout sessions, quarterly practice-wide education sessions, and free access to Red Whale, mentorship, and coaching.

Our Clinical Support Unit manages medication requests, reviews, and document management to increase efficiency and reduce the admin burden on GPs. Although part of a larger organization, we maintain flexibility and independence to run our surgery based on what’s best for patients and staff.

Practice Information

We are a training practice that trains GP trainees, year 3 and year 5 medical students, and student nurses. All GPs in the practice get involved in training and supervision, and we all enjoy and learn from this educational environment.

General practice is a challenging and interesting place to work. We are doing our best to manage the challenges while keeping the job boundaries and work interesting. All of the GPs here enjoy working here, and we think you will too.

We work hard to keep up to date, with monthly 2-hour in-house education meetings where we all learn from each other. We promote a learning culture and look to learn from new guidance and changes in practice. We also aim to learn when things go wrong, looking for opportunities to reduce the chance of mistakes happening again. All GPs have regular quality improvement and admin time to enable this to happen.

We are a forward-thinking organisation and as part of our culture we are embracing new technologies to improve the services we offer our patients. We understand the importance of listening to our patients and are not afraid to make changes following feedback.

Support and Development

We take great pride in developing our future workforce in primary care. This includes GP registrars, medical students, nursing students, and the continued development of all staff. We welcome applications from candidates with an interest in teaching and actively encourage those looking to explore special interests.

Each of our practices has its own unique journey, and we are committed to ongoing quality improvement, enhancing patient care and experience, and fostering staff wellbeing. We are looking for a GP who is enthusiastic about joining us on this journey and contributing to our shared vision for excellence in primary care.
