Welcome to NPC Cramlington

There is good disabled access to our ground-floor consulting rooms. We have an accessible toilet.

We have a number of off-street parking bays, including four disabled parking bays.

There is sloped access to our automatic front door for wheelchair users. There is also a handrail.

NPC is a research-active primary care organisation. We may contact you about research projects. If you do not wish to take part in research or be contacted about these opportunities, please let us know. We will note that you do not want to be contacted.

GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g. average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.

The average pay for GPs working at NPC Cramlington in the last financial year was £60,934.02. This number is before tax and national insurance.

This is for 4 part-time GPs.

We are a Veteran Friendly practice. This means that we have a dedicated clinician with specialist knowledge of military-related health conditions and veteran-specific health services. This is as part of the health commitments of the Armed Forces Covenant.

If you are ex-forces, please let your GP know. This will help ensure you get the best possible care.

We are a teaching practice.

This is a valuable process for the development of future generations of doctors. They are directly supervised by a senior/lead GP with every patient contact. From time to time, it may be necessary for several clinicians, including medical students, to be part of the team that delivers your care.

You will be asked for consent before each interaction. If you do not feel comfortable with the presence of medical students, you can request that they not be a part of your consultation.

The relationship between a GP surgery and its patients is based on trust, mutual respect, and open communication.

This partnership between GP surgeries and their patients is crucial for ensuring high-quality medical care and promoting overall health and well-being.

• Decisions are made clearly and transparently, so you can understand how services are planned
and delivered
• To be treated with dignity and respect in accordance with your human rights
• The right to privacy and confidentiality

Your responsibilities as a patient:
