This week is #CarersWeek “A carer is someone who provides unpaid care and support to a family member or friend who has a disability, illness, mental health condition, addiction, or who needs extra help as they grow older. It isn’t someone who volunteers or is employed to provide support.” This year the theme is 'Caring About Equality' highlighting the inequalities faced by unpaid carers, including a greater risk of poverty, social isolation, poor mental and physical health. Far too often, carers of all-ages miss out on opportunities in their education, careers, or personal lives, just because of their caring role. Get involved in Carers Week 2025, and together let’s work towards an equal society, where carers are truly valued, recognised and supported. If you are a carer, you can access more information and support: ➡️ Carers UK: https://www.carersuk.org ➡️ York Carers Centre: https://www.yorkcares.co.uk If you would like to let us you are a carer, find out how to do this on our website here: https://www.priorymedical.com/referrals-resources/carers/

Routine appointments July/Aug
Routine appointments
This month and over the summer, we expect the waiting time routine appointments to reach 7-8 weeks. The extended wait times are due to sickness and unplanned absence. It is important we offer enough urgent/on the day capacity while balancing the need to provide routine/ongoing care to patients with ongoing conditions. Please try not worry, if you have submitted a request we will be in direct contact and book appointments in time order.
If your symptoms worsen or change please contact us again using the prioryCARE form or by phone on 01904 404100.
