Thornaby & Barwick Medical Group is a large practice serving the needs of Thornaby and Ingleby Barwick, and the small village of Maltby with a total practice population of over 19,000 patients.

There are nine partners and one salaried GP in the practice which operate from two state of the art purpose-built surgeries. We are looking to expand further in the future. We currently provide all of the usual services, complemented in this task by a nursing team of two nurse practitioners and five practice nurses and other attached clinical and administrative staff.

The practice teaches medical students and GPSTR’s currently and you will not be short of teaching and support. The partners’ medical interests are wide ranging and together we form a complementary team with a very wide skill and knowledge base. As a registrar you would be expected to contribute to team educational meetings.

You will be expected to consult from both surgeries and and this will give you the experience of different environments, problems and patients and may assist with your choice of future practice. You will be expected to take part in on-call within the practice on a 1 in 9 basis from 8am-6pm Monday to Friday, but will never be left to cope alone.

Socially we are a diverse bunch with a wide perspective on life, and have hobbies including fine food appreciation, mountain-biking, squash, horse riding, photography, travel, gardening….and indeed many others!

Our Registrar Dr. Louise Reed’s  brief description of the practice is below :

TBMG offers a training program second to none!  It is difficult to summarise this into a couple of sentences but one aspect I have particularly enjoyed is working from two sites and the diversity of the patient TBMG serves; from quite different social backgrounds, this will test and challenge your clinical and negotiating skills. There is never a dull moment – the whole team works dynamically bringing the support, administration and clinical staff together and with regular meetings this makes the experience great fun and truly rewarding! I highly recommend it!
