Welcome to our practice
The Doctors and Staff at Horden Group practice are proud to offer the highest standard of patient-centred healthcare.
We run many clinics for the management of chronic diseases such as asthma and diabetes and offer a wide variety of other medical services including antenatal and postnatal care, minor surgery, childhood vaccinations and well-person check-ups.
Our main practice is located in Horden and we have a branch surgery in Peterlee. Facilities for our disabled patients are available at both surgeries.
Horden Group Practice is a Training Practice
This involves fully qualified Doctors working in the Practice for up to 12 months in order to become GPs.
What are the advantages of this?
Training practices must meet higher standards than ordinary practices. Doctors who train others must have had extra training themselves. Doctors who have recently worked in hospital often bring new ideas and help the practice keep up to date.
Training doctors locally helps to make sure that there are enough GPs in the area.
Talk Before You Walk
Patients across Durham Dales, Easington and Sedgefield have been reminded to ‘Talk Before You Walk’ when in need of care when their GP practice is closed.
By phoning NHS 111, patients who need to be seen urgently on the same day will be offered an appointment with a healthcare professional either at their own GP surgery or at another surgery nearby called a Primary Care Service or a hub.
Primary Care Services are available across the area.
