We are a 5 partner practice (3 men and 2 women) with
9500 patients. Our main surgery site is a purpose
built surgery in Blackhall which has been extended
in 2006 to provide 10 consulting rooms, 5 nurse
consulting/treatment rooms and a minor op suite. On
site we also have a physiotherapy suite, chiropody
room, the offices of the health visitors and
district nurses and a large community room as well
as plenty of administration space. Our Peterlee site
is attached to the Peterlee Community Hospital and
consists of 5 consulting rooms and administration
space.
Blackhall is a former mining village and the
practice area covers the other mining villages of
Horden and Easington, as well as the town of
Peterlee and surrounding villages.
The special interests of the partners include
dermatology, palliative care, addiction problems,
women’s and child health. Although we are a new
training practice in 2006, the practice has a long
history of training Emergency Care Practitioners,
Nurse Practitioners, Community Matrons and Nurse
Prescribers. The partners and our fantastic Business
Manager are actively involved in the PCT and the
practice is at the forefront of innovation in
practice in the Easington area. We have a large
nurse team including 2 nurse practitioners and offer
a wide range of nurse led chronic disease management
and specialist clinics.
The required out of hours sessions for the GP
Registrar will be done with the trainer or another
partner via Primecare based in Peterlee.
We are a sociable and friendly practice who make a
point of meeting for coffee together daily and enjoy
meals out together whenever possible. We are excited
about the new adventure of being a training
practice!
