The practice is based in Peterlee and also has a second surgery in Easington. There are over 15,000 patients and 13 GPs (both full and part-time) working at the surgeries. We use systmone computer system. We believe that a good general practice works well as a team and ours includes the nursing team, pharmacy team, counsellors and a psychologist. Each GP has a special interest and we offer minor surgery, a full contraceptive service including implant and intrauterine device fitting and one GP specialises in ophthalmology.

We have a strong training and educational ethos at the practice and train foundation doctors as well as GPStRs. Each week we have an education meeting and each GP takes responsibility for the topic in a rota. We encourage the GPStR to run some of the meetings during their time at the practice. Dr Anderson is an Associate Director with the Northern Deanery and we will soon have an additional trainer at the practice. By learning together, we believe that the practice can improve standards of care for our patients.

Our surgery offers extended hours from 800-2000 Monday to Friday and Saturday mornings. As a GPStR you will not be expected to work beyond 6pm at the surgery but you will have to undertake some OOH sessions as part of your training requirement. This is through Primecare at Sunderland and will be organised when you start at the practice.

The practice covers a very deprived area of the North East and you will have an opportunity to see a variety of conditions, both acute and chronic. The practice is busy but rewarding. There is lots of support from the GP trainers, other GPs and the rest of the team.

In July 2008, the practice started a PMS contract with Intrahealth Ltd. We believe our practice is innovative and embrace changes and improvement to the care we provide.
