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 13 partners, 5 of whom
are part-time, 4 female, and 9 male. Although this
is a large practice, each full-time equivalent
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, fairly spacious premises. An attached health
authority clinic provides phlebotomy and is the base
for District Nurses. The practice has all the usual
attached staff and a team of enthusiastic practice
nurses who run a range of clinics including chronic
disease monitoring clinics, a contraception and
sexual health clinic, smoking cessation clinics,
weight management, immunization, and general nursing
clinics. We also have counsellors, CBT and a gateway
mental health practitioner at the practice and an
attached pharmacist. Our administrative staff
include Practice Manager reception manager,
receptionists for each list of patients, QOF and
audit manager, secretaries and IT staff, 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,
appraisal, mentoring, 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.
Training in out of hours care is undertaken by
working sessions with the out of hours service that
has a contract with the PCT.
