Welcome to Great Lumley Surgery

Newsletter Spring 2024

The doctors, nurses and staff at Great Lumley Surgery are proud to offer the highest standard of patient-centred healthcare. We provide a full General Practice Service as well as many specialist clinics for the management of chronic diseases, such as asthma and diabetes, and offer a wide variety of other medical services including antenatal and postnatal care, minor surgery, childhood vaccinations and well-person check-ups. Great Lumley Surgery is a training practice, and this is strongly within the ethos of the practice with all three partners involved in teaching. 

Please have a look around our website and do send us some feedback if you like.

In order to safely manage the use of eConsult we have taken the decision to restrict operating hours to Monday - Friday.

To assist patient safety, we advise you contact the surgery on 0191 388 5600 for any queries relating to a medical condition. Online requests are for non-urgent queries only and the forms submitted via eConsult will only be read during weekday office hours. 

The NHS App gives you a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services. Download the NHS App on your smartphone or tablet via the Google Play or Apple Store.
