The practice is based in Coulby Newham to the south
of Middlesbrough, and was created from scratch in
1982 as the area developed. In 1998 it merged with
another single-handed practice to facilitate growth
and the development of new premises which were
completed in June 2001. The practice became PMS
funded in April 2004. The practice list size is
approaching 4200 and growing.
We are fully computerised and have been since 1990,
though it is only in the last two years that we have
been effectively paperless. Currently we have two
partners, one part-time salaried doctor and a nurse
practitioner, with as full a team as can be afforded
in a small practice! The practice area is relatively
compact, and could probably the best described as
suburban in nature, with pockets of deprivation. The
practice population has tended to be younger than
the average for the area, but is ageing with the
practice itself.
We exceeded our aspirations under the quality and
outcomes framework last year, and achieved excellent
results which we hope to better. Our incidence of
chronic diseases is within the ranges expected for
our practice size, and there is plenty of
opportunity to contribute their management whilst
not been overburdened.
Experience of unstructured care during the out of
hours period will need to be gained through working
sessions under supervision within the local out of
hours provider’s service (currently PrimeCare). This
will involve a minimum of 36 hours during the six
months attachment, which will equate to one or two
sessions each month. We advise that these are spread
out through the six months, rather than rushed at
the end. Some of them may be undertaken with the
trainer, but the overnight sessions will be
supervised by Primecare.
Outside of teaching registrars, the practice has
been involved with taking final year medical
students (since 1995), nurse prescribers on their
course, and is closely involved in the introduction
of Spanish doctors into the local general practice
scene. Other medical interests include involvement
in "connecting for health" and the development of IT
in general practice. Dr Beeby has section 12
approval under the mental health act 1983, and
regularly conducts assessments outside of the
practice. This page was last updated
