Tithebarn Medical Centre & Kirklevington Grange Prison

Tithebarn Medical Centre, in Stockton on Tees, is a “brown-field” site serving a deprived estate in Stockton on Tees, which previously had no local primary health care provision. Under a PMS contract (with North Tees PCT) we set up a new site, recruited an excellent primary health care team and provided much welcomed services to the local population.

As part of this contract, we also took on care of prisoners at the local Category C prison, Kirklevington Grange. This innovative contract involved prisoners being given the opportunity to develop and hold their own records, come out of the prison to consult at the practice, and close partnership working between prison and community medical and nursing staff.

Our intermediate care contract provided interim GP care to early discharge patients at 2 local nursing homes, prior to patients moving back to their homes and the care of their registered GP.

The next phase of development at Tithebarn will be in 2009 with the addition of walk in services 7 days a week under a new provider, and our involvement with the Practice ceased in September 2008.
