About us

The Grange Practice is in a purpose built medical centre which is shared with another practice. Whilst we have only been here since 2006, we have outgrown the space we have and therefore, we are currently going through the processing of getting a new surgery approved by the Integrated Care Board.

We have 8 GPS working various days, 2 nurse practitioners, 2 clinical pharmacists, a pharmacy technician, a first contact physiotherapist, a dietician/physician associate, the nursing team already described and various other supporting administrative roles in the practice.

We are able to offer the NHS pension scheme to all our staff. There is free parking on the roads around the practice and we provide a uniform and refreshments in addition to a fully funded christmas party and summer BBQ for staff.
