About us
Kirkgate Surgery is a thriving, friendly GP practice with a growing list size of around 3,500 patients. We are proud of our supportive team, are patient-focused, and well-regarded within our local community. This is an exciting time to join us as we embrace opportunities to deliver more care in the community through national initiatives.
We are a two-partner practice, supported a fantastic regular GP locum on Fridays. We benefit from daily pharmacy input, which significantly reduces medication queries for our GPs, and from a visiting team that greatly reduces urgent visits. Our admin team is second to none and a huge support to clinical staff.
We have a strong background in medical student and FY2 training, and are looking to develop GP registrar training in the near future.
We work hard to deliver clinical excellence and place a strong emphasis on wellbeing. Our appointment and admin structure reflects this, with no extra patients booked in at short notice. This helps us maintain a manageable workload and support wellbeing.
Being a small practice gives us high levels of continuity of care, where both patients and staff benefit from long-term relationships. Patient feedback is consistently positive, as we foster a collaborative approach to medical care. We are proud to be high QOF achievers.
Our practice ethos is to maintain a positive, compassionate, and adaptable team culture. We support personal development and want every team member to feel valued and enjoy coming to work
