About us
About Eye Health Centre
Located in the attractive village of Eye, just off the A140, we provide high-quality primary care to our rural and semi-rural population. We are proud of the strong relationships we have built with our patients and of the continuity of care that is such an important part of life in general practice.
We are a friendly, supportive team, comprising 2 GP Partners, a Practice Manager and Deputy Manager, ANPs and ECPs, 4 Practice Nurses, 2 Healthcare Assistants, an experienced Pharmacist team, and a dedicated team of Medical Secretaries and Receptionists. As a dispensing practice, we also have a busy and well-established dispensary, providing an important service to our rural community.
We believe that looking after our patients starts with looking after our team. We have created a working environment where people know and support one another, where ideas are welcomed, and where professional development is encouraged.
One of the things that reflects our team culture is our daily 11am break. Each day, our clinicians and management take time away from the clinical workload to come together for a coffee, a chat and a chance to catch up on how the day is going. We think these small moments make a big difference helping us stay connected, support each other and, importantly, enjoy working together.
We are looking for a GP who will become part of this team and who values continuity, collaboration, patient-centred care and a positive working environment.
