regular MRC programmes for many years and would be keen to develop research links once again. Opportunities for flexible working We promote flexible working for all our to encourage development and support family commitments and outside interests wherever possible. The Practice Team The partnership consists of 1 GP, a managing partner and a Nurse Practitioner partner. We have 3 salaried GPs and 23 staff including very experienced and robust nursing and admin teams. We have 3 nurse practitioners, one of whom has extensive experience in rapid response community nursing who supports our home visiting. We also have in-house physiotherapy and counsellors. In addition to this we also have a specialist teacher in behavioural problems who provides a service for children up to 16 years who are displaying challenging behaviours and their parents and who liaises closely with local schools. We also hold a weekly teenage clinic. In addition to this we have strong community links and hold a monthly drop-in coffee morning for our elderly patients and those suffering with dementia or who are isolated. In addition to being attended by some of our clinical team, we also have representatives from MIND, Ageing Better Middlesbrough and other community organisations. We also hold a monthly walking group for our patients in partnership with Middlesbrough Council and organise trips to local attractions etc. We have also been instrumental in the setting up of Memorable Moments sessions for patients with dementia. We hope to begin nutritional cookery sessions in the very near future with some of our community partners, aimed at our elderly patients and low income families. Social activities We meet as a clinical team every Monday lunchtime. All GPs, ANPs and Practice Nurses attend this meeting and these range from routine practice business updates, discussions on individual patients, palliative care register patient, significant events, audit presentations and presentations on services etc. from secondary care/community staff. The GPs and ANPs meet for coffee twice a week and each month we have a whole team
