This central Middlesbrough practice is sited within
the Mall Middlesbrough. The GP partners (three
female; two male) and our Management Partner 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 computerized in 1989 and have had several
upgrades in Vision, a Windows based system with
which we have moved to a note-less computerized
consultation and 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 also have
counsellors and a midwife, addictions nurse and
dietician have clinics within the practice.
Partners interests are varied and include medical
politics locally and nationally, cardiology,
rheumatology, women’s health, terminal care and work
with Medical Services. Two partners are involved in
undergraduate teaching. Two partners have developed
their special interests in Comprehensive Sexual
Health Services and have PBC commissioned clinics
within the practice. Another partner will soon be
providing a Community Heart Failure Assessment
Clinic.
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 Prime-care. We support
our registrars in achieving competency in out of
hours and emergency care.
