Culverhay Surgery is a well-established friendly GP training practice located in Wotton under Edge, Berkeley and Frampton on Severn in Gloucestershire.

The Culverhay ethos is very much based around continuity of care and good team working to provide excellent, responsive patient care for our 18200 patients.

Our team consists of 4 partners (1 managing partner), 13 salaried GP's, a full skill mix of nurses, paramedic, a senior clinical pharmacist, pharmacy technicians, frailty care co-ordinators, social prescriber and practice counsellors. Not forgetting our fantastic reception and admin team who work very hard to minimise administrative burden for the clinical team.

Staff turnover is very low and the practice encourages feedback, to help us create a happy supportive practice environment.

We are a GP training practice (Severn Deanery) with 2 GP trainers. In addition, we are a teaching practice (University of Bristol medical students and UWE/University of Gloucestershire nursing students)
