About Ravensworth Surgery
Ravensworth Surgery is an NHS family practice in South Shields, with a sister surgery, The Medical Centre, in Jarrow. It provides GP appointments, prescriptions, fit notes, test results and NHS travel vaccinations, alongside clinics for asthma/COPD, diabetes, cervical screening, immunisations, hypertension and smoking cessation.
The practice combines routine general practice with preventive and long-term condition care for its local community. Both sites have step-free and wheelchair access, accessible parking and ground-floor consulting rooms. Patients have a named GP responsible for their overall care, while the wider team includes nurses, healthcare assistants and practice management staff. Ravensworth also trains postgraduate doctors preparing to become GPs.
Clinical and practice teams
GP partners and long-term locum GPs work alongside a practice nurse, healthcare assistants and practice managers. The partnership combines clinical leadership with a business partner and an assistant practice manager who also handles complaints.
Learning in general practice
Ravensworth is a training practice for qualified doctors who have already worked in hospitals and are completing their GP training. GP registrars form part of the practice team.
