Diarrhoea and vomiting (D&V) is a common illness and usually caused by viral gastroenteritis and sometimes food poisoning. It often takes a few days for symptoms to resolve - the NHS website has some threat advice : ➡️ https://www.nhs.uk/symptoms/diarrhoea-and-vomiting/care/ If you have a pre booked appointment at the surgery (eg for dressing, injection or smear) and are experiencing symptoms of D&V, we ask that you contact us to reschedule to when you are well and symptom free. This helps to reduce the spread of viral gastroenteritis at the practice.

ADHD referrals
Adults (aged 18+) requesting NHS referral will be asked to complete an online form called the DoItProfiler. This goes through a series of questions to help determine if you might have ADHD and what support you might benefit from
Parents and carers of children aged 5+ can self refer to children’s mental health services (CAMHS) by phone 0300 013 4778 or email tewv.northyorkshirecamhsreferrals@nhs.net
For more information about the referral process click here to see York Send website or visit the TEWV CAMHS website.
Right to Choose
Many patients/parents come to us to ask about the Right to Choose (RtC) process, particularly around ADHD referrals due to very long waiting lists in York. Patients can use this pathway if they fulfil local criteria for an NHS referral to the ADHD clinic and would like to choose a different provider.
Not all RtC providers are able to offer a full assessment and initiation and ongoing prescribing of medications. If you opt to use a RtC provider rather than the local NHS service, we will not be able to take over prescribing of any specialist medication on a private shared care bases. We are happy to refer you on to adult or child mental health services locally to see if they can continue or commence specialist medication (there may be long waits for this).
ADHD UK lists the approved providers, their waiting list and whether medication will be prescribed. We are not able to recommend specific, private RtC providers.
