Background
A purpose-built health centre right off the M5, with genuine flexibility on how up to 8 sessions are structured across one or two GPs. Add a modern building with room to grow, a young and comparatively (compared to the local area) straightforward patient population, and a Training Practice building real momentum, and this is a rare opportunity for the right GP. If you want to get on with the clinical job without unnecessary complication, read on.
Location
The practice is based on the outskirts of Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, right alongside the M5, meaning no need to drive into the town centre at all. Bristol is around 30 minutes away by motorway, with Clevedon around 20 minutes, making this a genuinely easy commute for anyone based along the M5 corridor.

- Purpose-built, modern health centre with on-site parking, set within a retail hub
