About Spencer Street Surgery
Spencer Street Surgery is an NHS general practice in central Carlisle serving about 13,700 patients from two sites, Spencer Street Surgery and Blackwell Road Surgery. It belongs to Carlisle and Rural Primary Care Network with Carlisle Healthcare, Brampton Medical Practice and Longtown Medical Centre, and is rated Good by the CQC following a comprehensive assessment of both sites in October 2026.
The practice employs 49 clinical and non-clinical staff across the two sites, combining GPs, paramedic practitioners, practice nurses and healthcare assistants with a management and administrative team. PCN colleagues add a frailty team, social prescribers and physiotherapists.
How the team works
Ten GPs work with a nursing team led by a nursing team manager, and several of the nurses are prescribers. A paramedic practitioner and a trainee advanced care practitioner extend the clinical mix, while a managing partner, a patient services manager and a care navigation team manager lead the non-clinical side. PCN staff work alongside and within the practice teams. The CQC found that managers supported staff through training and regular appraisals, and the practice closes periodically for protected learning time.
