You’ll have experienced ANPs and paramedics alongside you, with a partner on hand for back-up whenever you need it. The practice is keen to find a GP for regular ongoing duty days, and Lancaster’s location near the M6 and West Coast Main Line makes it an easy commute – with the Lake District on the doorstep for your days off.
