Dr Katharina Frey and Dr Ahmed Abbas, who ran Coniston Medical Practice at Wraysdale House, announced they would hand back their contract to the NHS from last summer.
The practice said this was due to Frey’s retirement and it being unable to recruit a new partner.
Patients warned they would face an hour’s round-trip by car to the nearest full-time surgery in Ulverston if no replacement was found.
The parish council teamed up with residents and local film-makers to create an ad campaign, but no applicants came forward to fill the vancancy permanently.
The service has been temporarily maintained by Morecambe Bay Primary Care Collaborative.
Following negotiations with local service provider Cumbria Health Limited, NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board say a branch site of Central Lakes Medical Group will open on 1 July.
It is expected to operate three days a week, with other sites in Hawkshead and Ambleside also open to patients.
On 30 June, all patients of Coniston Medical Practice will move to Central Lakes Medical Practice or their nearest practice.
