Prospective Medical Students
For reasons of confidentiality, we do not offer work experience or placements to anyone wishing to pursue medicine as a career. We would encourage any of our patients seeking this experience, to join our Patient Participation Group to become more involved and gain an insight into some of the current issues in general practice.
Bus Service
The 683 bus now stops at the main hospital entrance but will also stop, on request, at the Primary Care Centre entrance.
Drop Off and Parking
Patients are welcome to use the drop off bay outside the Primary Care Centre provided that their vehicle is removed as soon as possible to the main car park.
We are advised that car park charges in the Hospital car park, operated by Northumbria Healthcare Trust, have been increased to £1.20 per hour. This is outside of the practice's control.
New Patients
We welcome patients moving into the area. We work in purpose built premises which are fully accessible to everyone. Please ask for an information leaflet and registration form at reception.
RESEARCH
The practice would like to thank all patients who have responded so positively to invitations to participate in research studies offered via the practice. Research is vital to healthcare in terms of the way conditions are managed and drug development and is something which we are keen to support. We realise and appreciate that participation is not for everyone and we do not mind if anyone refuses an invitation.
A&E Attendances
Did you know that many people turn up to casualty in Hexham and then simply decide they can't wait any longer? In doing this patients trigger a charge of £59.
