Dr Derek McGlade
The Surgery, Durham Road, Ferryhill, Co Durham DL17 8JJ
Tel: 01740 651238

We are a large but friendly practice consulting from a purpose built surgery in Ferryhill and a smaller Health Centre in Chilton. The Practice has a list size of 16000 patients, 10000 of whom live in Ferryhill, 4500 in Chilton and the remainder in outlying villages and farms.
Ferryhill and Chilton are both ex mining towns although the mines closed many years ago. There is little employment within the area and most patients work in light industry in the adjoining towns of Spennymoor and Newton Aycliffe.

The partnership consists of ten doctors, six of whom are full time and four part time. Three of the partners are female and seven male.
In addition to the doctors, the primary health care team includes 4 practice nurses, 2 health care assistants and a full complement of secretarial and support staff. A psychologist and physiotherapist consult from the surgery with 4 district nurses, CPN’s and Health visitors based locally.

Although we have only recently become a training practice (Aug 2001), we have been involved in teaching medical students since 1997.
The partners have a wide range of interests, which include minor surgery, clinical assistant sessions in dermatology and open access endoscopy. One partner provides in house sigmoidoscopies and is also taking referrals for vasectomies from other local practices. We have in house diabetic clinics and a local paediatrician provides regular outpatient clinics from our premises.

The practice is fully computerised having become ‘paperless’ in 2000. All consulting rooms have desktop PC’s with access to the NHS net and wider internet.
