About us

The Colte Partnership is very much At The Heart of Primary Care, being the largest GP Partnership in North East Essex; comprised of 8 local GP practices across Colchester and Tendring. We care for approx. 95,000 patients. Our Head Office is in Feering.

Each of our branches has its own character, and family friendly ethos, which is why our patients love coming to us (and tell us so in our regular patient surveys). However, being a large partnership means we can offer so much more than a local branch can by itself with specialist clinics, social prescribing and innovative support such as regular dementia cafes.

We also work as three collaborative Primary Care Networks (PCNs) which span across Colchester and Tendring:

Riverside Medical Centre & Ardleigh Surgery, Mersea Island Medical Practice, Tiptree Medical Centre, Walton Medical Centre, Colne Medical Centre & Wivenhoe Medical Centre.
