The practice is in central Stockton on Tees. It is
an urban practice in an area of fairly high
morbidity. The practice is well organised and we aim
to provide quality care for our patients, and a good
working environment for the practice team. There are
around 23,000 patients and 12 partners, 3 female,
and 9 male. Although this is a large practice, each
doctor having an individual list of patients
enhances continuity of care. We have a low rate of
house calls. Queens Park Medical Centre has purpose
built, recently extended, spacious premises, with a
personal consulting room for the GP Registrar. An
attached health authority clinic provides phlebotomy
and lab services and health visitor clinics and is
the base for attached staff. The practice has all
the usual attached staff and a team of enthusiastic
practice nurses who run a range of disease
monitoring clinics and our immunisation programme as
well as a general nursing clinic. The practice has
an excellent IT infrastructure with Internet
access\email from the desk top in the consulting
room and practice information accessible on the
practice web site.
Interests of individual partners within the practice
include research, teaching medical students,
dermatology, cardiology, IT, clinical audit,
occupational medicine and cancer care, but we also
like to keep a balance between home life and work
and have time for leisure activities and our varied
social interests. We run ‘in house‘ educational
sessions on a regular basis for training of the
whole practice and on clinical topics for clinical
staff. We are a practice that values a friendly
atmosphere, socializing, and informal discussion.
The surgery is open 8.30 am – 6.00 pm with
individual doctor’s surgery times varying from day
to day. The practice no longer provides out of hours
care, having opted out with the new GP contract. The
registrar is expected to be on-call for the practice
patients 8.00 am - 8.30 am with the trainer on a one
in 11 rota. Training in out of hours care is
undertaken by working sessions with the out of hours
service that has a contract with the PCT
