About us

Great Lumley Surgery is a semi-rural practice on the outskirts of Chester-le-Street. We serve a population of approx. 5300 patients. At present there are 3 partners, and a Salaried GP.

Medical care at Great Lumley is centred on good teamwork and the Primary Health Care Team. We like to look on ourselves as an integrated team providing high quality care to the patients that we serve and are all highly motivated and dedicated towards achieving that aim. A sense of humour is essential. We like to think that general practice can be fun and rewarding.

Every member of the team is valued for their contribution and skills and we try and enhance their role and purpose within the practice as much as possible. There is no them and us mentality and everyone is encouraged to participate as fully as they can. Regular meetings are held on a wide variety of topics involving the whole team and full participation from members is encouraged.
