Longrigg Medical Centre: Salaried GP

Longrigg Medical Centre are looking for a new salaried GP for 6 sessions per week, to start from November 2025, with the option of future partnership.

We are an extremely friendly and welcoming practice currently consisting of 4 partners (3 of whom are former Longrigg GP trainees), 4 salaried GPs and a Nurse Practitioner. 

The majority of our administrative work is done in a large communal space complete with workstations, kitchen and comfortable seating area. We have a culture of working and problem solving as a team. Discussions around clinical and organisational issues are strongly encouraged, both on an ad-hoc basis and in our weekly practice meeting. You will always find someone in the communal room available for support, or just a chat and a coffee (and a homemade cake if you’re lucky!). Supporting each other to maintain positive well-being and a healthy work-life balance are important aspects of our practice ethos. We regularly socialise together outside of work too. Most recently this has included bowling, BBQ's and a rather muddy country walk!

We are committed to training and teaching with three GP trainers currently. We also teach medical students from Newcastle University at a variety of stages and all staff are encouraged to be involved with teaching.

We have strong links within our East Gateshead PCN and look forward to further collaboration in future. We already have a large team of Community Link Workers, 4 Pharmacists, a Pharmacy Technician, a First contact Physio and a Primary Care Mental Health Worker, with other roles currently being developed.

We are keen to support colleagues with development of additional clinical interests and would love to hear what skills or services you would like to bring to the practice in the future.
