About Upwell Health Centre
Upwell Health Centre is an NHS GP practice in Upwell, near Wisbech, delivering general medical services from a single site under contract with the Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board. Its list was approximately 11,000 patients in 2023, and it belongs to Fens & Brecks PCN.
The clinical team includes GP partners, a paramedic practitioner, an advanced nurse practitioner, a long-term conditions specialist nurse, practice nurses, an assistant practitioner and healthcare assistants, supported by reception, secretarial, workflow and operations staff. Welle Ltd runs a pharmacy and dispensary on the same site under its own NHS community pharmacy contract and is named as the employer for the pharmacy post advertised through the practice.
Team mix
General practice work is shared between GP partners and a wider clinical team that includes a paramedic practitioner, an advanced nurse practitioner and a specialist nurse for long-term conditions. A lead nurse heads the nursing team of practice nurses, an assistant practitioner and healthcare assistants. Reception, GP assistants, medical secretaries, workflow administrators, a care coordinator and an operational team led by a business manager and an operations manager support the clinicians.
Practice and pharmacy on one site
The health centre shares its premises with Welle Ltd, which provides dispensary and pharmacy services under its own NHS community pharmacy contract. The pharmacy team includes a superintendent pharmacist, a pharmacist, dispensers, a dispenser checker, counter assistants and a delivery driver, and dispenses over 26,000 items a month using a Willach Consis E dispensing robot. The pharmacy post currently advertised under the practice's NHS Jobs account names Welle Pharmacy rather than Upwell Health Centre as the employing organisation.
