About us

Leckhampton Surgery is well regarded locally. We have a culture of learning and mutual support, valuing the opinions of all members of our practice team. We prioritise staff well-being at all times and as a result have a very low turnover and enjoy a lovely working atmosphere in the building.

Our 5 partners and 4 salaried doctors enjoy the opportunity to undertake some of their work together in an open-plan, multi-disciplinary hub. We find this builds a great team spirit, as team members can learn from each other, as well as work more collaboratively. Working from a traditional clinic room can also be accommodated if preferred.

Our doctors consult with 25 patients on a routine day (in line with BMA guidance) comprising a mix of face-to-face and telephone appointments. We have very few home visits and these are usually undertaken by the urgent care team on the day. Duty doctor sessions are shared fairly and are capped to ensure workload is sustainable. The successful applicant will hold a share of the patient list, which supports continuity of care, professional development, and doctor satisfaction.

We welcome expressions of interest from newly qualified (or about to be) GPs and experienced GPs alike. This could be a stand-alone post, part of a portfolio career or to complement one of the many fellowship opportunities that are available in Gloucestershire.
