West Suffolk Rural PCN are currently looking to welcome a GP under the ARRS scheme to work alongside our team based at Wickhambrook Surgery. This position is part-time basis, flexible to 4-6 sessions per week.

Wickhambrook Surgery is a happy and thriving rural 3 partner GMS GP practice, just over the Cambridgeshire border in the beautiful rural Suffolk countryside. We are a dispensing GP practice with a clear focus on delivering the highest quality patient care to our 5300 patients. We are highly regarded by our practice population, with 90% of our patients rating the practice as fairly good (30%) or very good (60%) in the 2024 national GP Patient Survey.

  • Regular peer support through meetings to discuss complex cases or concerns
