Aims
Our aim is to provide the highest standards of healthcare in the most convenient setting for our patients. To help us achieve this we offer many in–house services at Greystoke, e.g. counselling, assessment, audiometry, ultrasound. In addition, our nurses are actively involved in chronic disease management, including asthma, diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, ischeamic heart disease, thyroid monitoring, medication monitoring and also well person checks.
Teaching
The practice is in the undergraduate education of medical students and the postgraduate education of young qualified Doctors in conjunction with the University of Newcastle and the Northumbria Vocational Training Scheme. These young men and women are attached to the practice for periods of up to six months to gain further experience in family based medicine.
