Nursing Team

The Nursing Team at Monkseaton Medical Centre consists of:

Laura Doris
Practice Nurse

Jennifer Renney
Health Care Assistant

Angela Auld
Health Care Assistant

Between them, the Nursing Team can help with almost anything.

The Doctors often pass their patients over to our team after diagnosis of things like hypertension for ongoing care, medication management, and lifestyle advice. If you suddenly develop a high blood pressure you will find yourself under their management and being put through your paces.

Angela Auld, Jennifer Renney and Sam Erskine are Health Care Assistants and are not qualified nurses. They are the blood takers in the practice and look after most of our patients requiring dressings. They take routine blood pressures, take part in Health Checks and annual reviews. They also assist the GPs and the other members of the nursing team.


Pharmacy Team


The Pharmacy Team at Monkseaton Medical Centre consists of:

  • Eliza Hughes
  • Alaa Daraji
  • Michelle Collins

Our Pharmacy team are responsible for all patient medication reviews. They look at any changes in medication on behalf of our doctors.


GP Net Earnings Computation

NHS England require that the net earnings of doctors engaged in the practice is publicised, and the required disclosure is shown below. However it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earnings is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the practice, and should not be used to form any judgement about GP earnings, nor to make any comparison with any other practice.

All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g. average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.

The average pay for GPs working in this practice in the last full financial year was £64,878 before Tax and National insurance. This is for Zero full time GPs, 10 part time GPs and Zero locum GPs who worked in the practice for more than six months.
