About Blackhall and Peterlee Practice

Blackhall and Peterlee Practice provides NHS primary care from Blackhall Community Health Centre and a branch at Peterlee Community Hospital in County Durham. Its services include general medical consultations, long-term condition management, immunisations, health promotion and minor surgery. GP partners and salaried doctors work with nurse practitioners, practice nurses, a nursing associate and healthcare assistants.

The practice trains GP registrars and supports medical students, with several doctors acting as trainers or supervisors. Its wider team includes pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, alongside social prescribing, care coordination and mental health support. Administrative and reception colleagues manage patient information and appointments, helping patients reach the appropriate clinician across the two locations.

How the wider team supports care

Reception colleagues help direct patients to the right clinician, while administrators process registrations, hospital letters and medical coding. Pharmacists support medication reviews and changes following hospital discharge, and the social prescribing team links patients with local non-clinical services. Community nurses attached to both sites work with doctors to support people who are too unwell to attend.
