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.

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.

The post holder is expected to contribute to the operational and strategic management of the practices within Northumbria Primary care and there are opportunities for personal and professional development across a wide range of areas within primary and secondary care.
