New home plans for 'small' surgery
The Journal
|August 09, 2025
An Ashington GP practice is planning to move to a new home on an old colliery site in the Northumberland town.
NPC Lintonville - formerly known as the Lintonville Medical Group prior to becoming part of the Northumbria Primary Care group - has revealed plans to ditch its current building and move to the nearby Ashington Workspace site.
The move is of just around 500m and would likely take place in 2027 once conversion work is complete.
A consultation has now opened - with a senior GP saying the move will solve problems including that the current space, which is more than 100 years old, is simply too small.
