This central Middlesbrough practice is sited within
the Cleveland Centre. All five partners (4.5 whole
time equivalents, three female; two male) are
interested and actively involved in the training
programme. The practice team is supportive and also
assists where appropriate.
The health centre was designed in the 1970s and the
premises have recently been refurbished and extended
to help cope with demands of modern-day practice and
expanding practice team.
We were computerised in 1989 and have had several
upgrades currently to Vision 3, a Windows based
system with which we have moved to a note less
system and computerised appointments system. Library
facilities are available with full access to web
based learning and information.
Our practice team includes a nursing team with a
full range of nursing skills led by our nurse
practitioner; their role in service provision is
continually being developed. We have counsellors and
an attached community psychiatric nurse and
dietician as well as health visitor, district nurse,
and midwife.
Partners interests are varied and include medical
politics locally and nationally, cardiology,
rheumatology, women’s health, terminal care and work
with Medical Services. One partner is involved in
undergraduate teaching.
We aim to provide appropriate access in a high
demand area but at the same time to maintain quality
whole-person care and a tolerable workload.
Under the new contract we have opted out of “Out of
Hours”, but supervised “Out of Hours Sessions” are
arranged by the Scheme with Primecare. We support
our registrars in achieving competency in out of
hours and emergency care.
