Yarm Medical Centre serves approximately 12,650 patients in an attractive market town in Stockton. We cover the leafy suburban areas of Yarm and Eaglescliffe as well as some villages in rural North Yorkshire.

We are a friendly practice of three men and four women: Dr Neil Reynolds, Dr Sally Bastiman,  Dr Alison Bonavia, Dr Carol Donne, Dr Philip Dillon, Dr Paul Mulcrone and Dr Zoe Barron. Many were home-grown on the Tees Valley (or Cleveland as it was then) VTS. We enjoy daily informal exchange of information over coffee as well as regular educational and business meetings.  

We have a good team of nurses: one nurse practitioner, two practice nurses and two treatment room nurses. Attached staff include two counsellors (CBT offered), two physios and a dietician. We offer nurse led clinics in cardiovascular disease, COPD, hypertension and sexual health, and hold weekly Baby, Diabetic and Well Woman clinics. (at the latter coils can be fitted).

There is a strong emphasis on training in the practice. Undergrad teaching of all years, first to fifth, is long established. Since 2003 we have been a GP training practice. We have two trainers (AB and CD) and one in embryo.

We are paperlight and use EMIS. 

Dr Reynolds, our senior partner, has been the GP advisor/coordinator of the highly successful Palliative Care Diploma at Teesside University. The practice has monthly meetings to co-ordinate palliative care with Macmillan staff and District nurses.

Though North Tees PCT provide OOH cover, we do offer extended hours with partners doing surgeries on a rota basis on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings.
