Pleasantly situated 10 miles north of Teesside in the rolling south Durham countryside, this highly desirable practice rural practice  has a lot to offer the aspiring GP Registrar/General Practitioner.

We have four premises. Three are modern and spacious purpose-built premises, one not so, in the farming/commuting village of Sedgefield (pleasant outlook on local undertakers) and the up and coming ex-pit villages of Fishburn and the Trimdons. The practice provides care for over 16,000 patients, situated in six villages plus hamlets and farms scattered over 80 square miles of countryside. The practice has all ‘mod cons’, is fully computerised (iSOFT) and has a genuine fully working Primary Health Care Team. We have our own GP Hospital with access to our own beds, X-ray, Physiotherapy and Consultant Outpatient clinics in elderly care plastic surgery and Paediatrics.

We currently have 8 partners and 1 salaried GPs .All but one are ex local GPRs. The practice has been training since 1992.

A most attractive aspect of this well established training practice is its habit of meeting in the pub most Friday lunch times (you don’t have to drink beer).

The practice has three Trainers plus one partner who is a Royal College examiner. The practice is involved in research, was the first practice in County Durham to achieve the RCGP Quality Practice Award and one of six practices in the County to get the Beacon Practice Award in 1999. The practice is also heavily involved in undergraduate teaching and Foundation programme clinical supervision.

The practice does almost all its minor operations and would give training to Registrars in this skill.

The Out of Hours component of GPR Training will be undertaken at the Bishop Auckland Urgent Care Centre.
