Welcome to Huntcliff Surgery

Our Practice’s main objective is ensuring that our patients receive
the optimum level of care available.
Our Practice Mission Statement is as follows:-

Our wish is to accommodate the needs of our patients while promoting self-reliance.
There is an emphasis on the prevention of illness while maintaining the traditional values of family medicine.
We hope to provide a friendly personalised service.

We are a training practice for the Teesside branch of the Northern Deanery of the University of Newcastle
