We are a partnership of 7 full time GPs and two
part-time PMS doctors with a list size of
approximately 14,800 patients. While mainly based in
Newton Aycliffe and Woodham Village, we also cover 2
smaller outlying villages and the countryside around
about. We dispense from our small branch surgery in
Heighington Village. We were awarded the RCGP
Quality practice award in 2000; it was presented to
the whole practice team by our local M.P. Tony
Blair.
We have had new purpose built premises since 1990
and became a training practice in 1994, and also
take medical students from Newcastle Medical School.
There is a reasonable library, digital camera and
Internet access. All the doctors are involved with
teaching/ training to some degree.
We are fully computerized [Torex Synergy]. We are
members of the Sedgefield area PCT and one of our
partners is on the PEC and also the mental health
lead. The partners have a wide range of interests
within medicine including education; minor
operations and we are medical officers for Aycliffe
Centre for Children [a young offenders institution].
One of the partners also does a hospital endoscopy
session.
We have diabetic, family planning, child
surveillance/immunization, antenatal clinics, and
nurse-led asthma, COPD, CHD, well person, adolescent
and menopause clinics. A local paediatrician does a
monthly clinic at the surgery. We have weekly
business meetings, monthly clinical meetings, and
PHCT meetings too.
The registrar is expected to show the same
commitment to on-call duties as a partner. During
the day (8.30 am to 6 pm) therefore, the registrar's
on-call commitment is approximately 1 in 7. Some out
of hours experience will be available, accompanied
by one of the trainers, through the Bishop Auckland
Urgent Care Centre. Any additional experience
required will have to be negotiated with other
out-of-hours trainers known to us.
Outside of working commitments we are interested in
family lives, in outdoor and sporting pursuits, and
in quality alcoholic drinks, in moderation.
Five of our partners and both our PMS doctors are
ex-Cleveland VTS Registrars.This page was
