Job Summary
The successful GP will join our progressive clinical team at Thornton Road Surgery, a friendly and vibrant practice serving a diverse and supportive local community in Croydon. The role offers a balanced mix of face‑to‑face consultations and telephone appointments, ensuring excellent continuity of care while allowing flexible working styles.
