About us
The Middlewood Partnership is a group of four practices across a Primary Care Network footprint which was established following a merger in 2019. We have created a modern GP organisation that retains the benefits of family medicine, including continuity, teamwork and support, but with the benefits of working at scale. This includes the ability for GPs to work a one session, one job rota, opportunities to work sessions in at scale services such as prescribing, urgent care, triage, care homes and specialist clinics, and leadership roles where appropriate
