We are experiencing extremely high demand for urgent same day appointments today. Our teams are working really hard to safely manage the high demand as best we can. If you have an urgent problem today please use community pharmacy or NHS111 if you are able to. We want to ensure our appointments are reserved for those most at need. Please call 01904 404100 as our prioryCARE form has been turned off

Winter viruses have definitely arrived, we are seeing many patients get in touch about cough, cold and vomiting symptoms. In turn, we are seeing sickness absence impacting our staffing.

We know it can be disappointing if an appointment is moved or we need to turn off the prioryCARE form as we are overwhelmed with urgent requests. We need to ensure the safe running of the practice and safe and high quality care for our patients.

We are experiencing sickness across all teams this week, reception, patient central and clinical teams (GPs and nursing team) which is putting pressure on some of our services. Please be patient with us, we are doing our very best to provide care for as many patients as we can.

NHS111 are available 24/7 if you struggle to get in touch with us regarding an urgent issue.

Community Diagnositic Centre (CDC)

NHS England have now commissioned community diagnostic centres to carry out a range of diagnostic tests. These tests include ECGs, blood-taking, 24 hour blood pressure monitoring and some breathing tests (spirometry and FENO). Our closest community diagnostic centre is at Askham Bar run by Nimbuscare.

You can read more about the local CDC in Nimbuscare’s CDC booklet here

Patients can book an appointment for a blood test by calling 01904 943 690 - there is no need to collect blood forms in advance as long as the practice have added a form to your records.
