Job summary

Carlisle Healthcare is a large NHS general practice partnership formed in 2016 following the merger of three established practices in the city. We operate over three sites and have a registered population of approximately 40,000 people.

We are a dual practice Primary Care Network. We have welcomed and embraced the opportunities this gives us to innovate and redesign the delivery of comprehensive primary care.

We are a busy and innovative practice. We aim to deliver the best service for patients whilst recognising the finite resources that we have to hand. We also value the importance of supporting our administrative and clinical staff and colleagues with their own well-being aspiring to achieve a high level of professional satisfaction within our teams.

We are a GP training practice and also have learners in a number of disciplines and at different stages (including medical students, nursing students, advanced clinical practitioners and apprentices).

We have recently developed new purpose built premises in the South of Carlisle which opened at the end of 2022 and is our new headquarters. This has allowed us to rationalise our estate. We currently operate from three sites in Carlisle - North Carlisle Medical Practice CA3 9JZ; St Pauls Medical Centre CA1 1DG; and our new site at Locke Road CA1 3UB.
