▶️ Announcement - due to unforeseen circumstances we are sadly going to close Rawcliffe Surgery for the day - Monday 15th December.
If you have an appointment at Rawcliffe tomorrow we will contact you to move this to another site (or reschedule if you are unable to travel).
Lavender Grove, Priory Medical Centre and Heworth Green are the nearest surgeries to Rawcliffe and they will be open as normal.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
We are seeing increased numbers of patients getting in touch about cold/cough/flu symptoms. The majority of patients can manage their symptoms with self care at home - pain killers, decongestants, rest and plenty fluids. We do need to see a number of patients in surgery to examine their chest etc - if you are attending the surgery, we ask that you wear a face mask if you are able. We want to reduce the risk of passing on viruses to our vulnerable patients in the waiting room and our staff members.
Please also wash your hands and use hand gel regularly. The NHS website has lots of self care advice about flu and cough/cold symptoms. If you are eligible for the flu/covid/RSV vaccinations we recommend patients book in for these.

You might have seen on the news that flu rates locally are rising. We are seeing lots of patients with cold/cold/flu symptoms at the moment. We would ask, that if able, you wear a mask if attending the surgery with flu like/respiratory (cough/wheeze) symptoms. The majority of cough/cold symptoms are caused by a viral illness and you will improve in a few days (around a week or so) with self care measures. You can buy remedies from supermarkets or ask your local pharmacy for advice. See the NHS website for more tips: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/flu/ https://www.nhs.uk/symptoms/cough/
