  North East Derbyshire PCN is an organisational group of four likeminded GP practices in North East Derbyshire. The Practices are Barlborough Medical Practice, Killamarsh Medical Practice, The Springs Medical Partnership and The Valleys Medical Partnership.


We are a relatively small PCN with just over 40,000 patients. We feel that this makes us big enough to develop a successful team but small enough to be an approachable, friendly place to be.

The NED PCN team is committed to working collaboratively to improve the care of patients in North East Derbyshire and sustaining General Practice.

All our practices are close to the M1 and commutable from major cities including Chesterfield, Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham.

You will be supported in the role by GPs at the four practices within the PCN and our fantastic existing Home Visiting Team currently comprising of 2 Community Matrons, 2 Paramedic ACPs and a dedicated Care Coordinator.
