About Us

The Colte Partnership is very much at the heart of primary care, being the largest GP partnership in North East Essex with 8 local GP practices across Colchester and Tendring. We care for approximately 95,000 patients. Our head office is in Feering.

We pride ourselves on working to be at the forefront of primary care in our region, with many exciting ventures on the horizon. Each of our branches has its own character and a family‑friendly ethos, which is why our patients love coming to us (and share their experience in patient surveys). As a large partnership we can offer many more services than a local branch can, such as specialist clinics, social prescribing, dementia cafés, etc.

We strive to look after our employees with generous annual leave, flexible and family‑friendly working. Our partnership works collaboratively with three Primary Care Networks spanning Colchester and Tendring.
