Overview
We are a small semi-rural Practice in the heart of the Lake District. With just 2,800 patients, our GP Surgery is small but very friendly. We have 13 staff members working to support our local patient community. Due to our previous Practice Manager's relocation, we are now looking for a new manager to join us.
We are a delightful Practice offering our patients the very best service in a beautiful setting near Windermere. We have one GP Partner, one Salaried GP and a couple of mainstay Locums, supported by our Nurse, HCA and administrative team.
