Job summary
George Clare Surgery is a two partner part-dispensing practice in the Fens in Cambridgeshire. The practice list size is currently 12000 patients.
Our Mission Statement: We are committed to ensuring our patients and staff live happy, healthy lives.
Chatteris historically was the centre of the potato and carrot growing industry in Britain. The demographics of the population have changed over recent years and the town is now home to a more varied population including commuters and workers from overseas. The population has increased markedly and we have a high incidence of chronic diseases.
We introduced electronic medical records in 1987 and in 1989 we commenced training registrars which at the time was a first in South Fenland. The original surgery which itself had been purpose built in 1948, was too small for the rapidly growing population and we moved into our new premises in 1994.
Our new building also housed two shop units, one which continues to be a chemist and the other was an Opticians which has now become office space to deal with the increasing administration which we have to do.
