About Us

The Vale Medical Practice is a forward thinking and innovative practice looking to recruit a salaried GP to join our dynamic team. We embrace new ways of working and welcome ideas to change the way our clinicians work to bring more variety into their days. We work closely with our local commissioners and enjoy taking part in pilot projects and we would support any applicants to take part in these depending on their area of interest. We pride ourselves on having good patient access figures and our two sites have very different patient demographics and levels of deprivation which leads to an interesting clinical challenge.
