Our reception team are trained care navigators who will help you in accessing our services and answering any queries you may have.

All patients are allocated a named GP who is responsible for your overall care. Please contact the practice if you wish to know who this is. We will make every effort possible to allow a preference in your named GP, but this is not always possible due to GP workload.

Continuity of Care
We know that patients value continuity of care and we would encourage patients to see the same doctor if possible.

Download the new NHS app, the new simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services on your smartphone or tablet.

On 12^th October 2021, the practice was presented with the Carer Friendly Employer Award.

Working towards the Carer Friendly Award was very rewarding. We continuously review what we have in place to support our team and Darlington Carers Support guided us to additional resources and policies that we have implemented to support our team members who also have a carers role. We carried out a self-assessment, implemented a 'Carers In The Workplace' policy, identified a number of employees who are unpaid carers, established carers passports for these employees and also took advantage of the Employers For Carers Digital platform. Implementing this additional support for those employees in a caring role was a simple and easy process and has gone a long way in reassuring our team that support is available and offered whenever this is needed. Being presented with the Carer Friendly Employer Award is a great achievement for the practice and I would encourage all local organisations to engage with this.
