We are pleased to announce enhancements to our appointment system at Parkway, aimed at improving your access to GP appointments. Starting Monday, June 10th, all GP appointment requests will be reviewed by a Senior GP who will triage and assign them to the appropriate clinician for either a telephone or face-to-face consultation.
When you contact us, our receptionists will ask for details about your query and relay this information to the GP. To ensure efficient and accurate service, please provide as much relevant information as possible.
These improvements are designed to enhance your patient experience and ensure timely access to the right healthcare professional. We are committed to optimizing your access to our healthcare services and believe these changes will significantly benefit all our patients.

PEOPLE across Tees Valley can now access Redcar Urgent Treatment Centre until 11.30pm from today (16 November) and throughout the winter.
It comes as NHS trusts across the region ask people to do their bit by thinking pharmacy, GP, and 111 in order to keep A&Es free for life-threatening emergencies.
Urgent treatment centres offer people urgent medical attention, when it’s not a life-threatening emergency.
If you have an injury or illness that requires urgent medical attention but is not life-threatening, the Redcar Treatment Centre will now be able to provide this from 8am to 11:30pm, seven days a week. The centre can give adults and children medical attention for a range of injuries or illnesses, including:
Strains and sprains
Suspected broken limbs
Minor head injuries
Cuts and grazes
Minor scalds and burns
Ear and throat infections
Skin infections and rashes
Eye problems
Coughs and colds
Feverish illness
Abdominal pain
Vomiting and diarrhoea
Nick Athey, clinical director for emergency medicine, said: “The winter months are always a busy time for A&E departments but this year we are facing the additional challenge of COVID-19
“It is really important that people help us help them by keeping our A&E department at The James Cook University Hospital free for genuine life-threatening emergencies only. Those who do attend A&E will be assessed clinically by a member of our team and if suitable, will be re-directed to a pharmacist, GP, 111 or one of our Urgent Treatment Centres. If you are unsure where to go for medical advice please visit NHS 111 in the first instance.”

According to the Evening Gazette we have been voted in the Top 10 list of surgeries in Teesside and the only surgery in the Middlesbrough area to make the top 10. Their data team crunched the numbers in seven key areas: how easy it is to get an appointment, whether opening times are convenient, whether people trust the GP, whether the GP listens to them, whether the GP treats them with care and concern, whether receptionists are helpful, and how patients rate their overall experience. From this we have been ranked 876th out of 7109 surgeries in England !!
