Your first steps relocating to Somerset

When you’ve made the decision to relocate to Somerset or if you would like to know more , it can at first feel like a huge task but thankfully the Somerset LMC team is here to make your move as smooth as possible.

  1. Check out our jobs page if you’ve not already found a position at one of Somerset’s GP practices.
  2. Some of the locations are already featured here and give you a brief overview of what to expect from life in those areas.
  3. Get in touch with the LMC team who can give you more information on the local community, put you in touch with the team you could be working with, and the type of education that will be on offer to you when you move to the area through the Education Trust which is part of the LMC.

Life in Somerset is diverse, exciting and offers a level of work-life balance that is welcomed after life as a GP in a larger city. You can keep active at weekends, get to know your friendly local community, and chase sunsets across the vast countryside. It’s not totally rural though, with access to larger towns such as Taunton and quick links to cities like Bristol, Exeter and London you really can have it all in Somerset.
