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

NHS Talking Therapies (previous known as IAPT) is a national NHS programme designed to offer talking therapy treatments recommended by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE).
Significant events like bereavement, unemployment, relationship breakdown, traumatic events or even stress at work can lead to difficulties requiring help and support. Problems with low mood and anxiety can develop and make it difficult for us to cope with life’s daily demands.
To make sure that the York and Selby Talking Therapies (previously known as IAPT) service is right for you, patients over the aged 16 can complete a self-referral form online hereor by telephone Monday-Friday 9am-5pm on 01904 556840. Assessments are undertaken over the phone, although alternative arrangements can be made if required. At the end of the assessment, they will discuss what help is available within the service. Where IAPT is not the most suitable service they can signpost you to alternatives where available.
In a mental health emergency you can contact the crisis team using the freephone telephone number 0800 0516 171.
Support for your memory
Nimbuscare run a York’s Brain Health Café at Acomb Garth Community Care Centre every Friday (except bank holidays) 10am – 12pm. Anyone who has any concerns about their memory or wants to know more about how to keep their brain healthy can attend. You may have been invited by your GP or the Memory Clinic, or you may have just seen it and want to come along. Everyone is welcome. More information here.
Also see ourdedicated pageon local Mental Health support.
The next Practice Learning Time (PLT) event is this Tuesday afternoon. All surgeries will close at midday. Nimbuscare will be offering patients urgent advice and help between 12-6pm.
Every year the government and NHS take advice from the JVCI to decide who are the most vulnerable patients and who would most benefit from a flu jab or a covid jab. This means that you might be invited one year, and not the next. We can only invite and vaccinate patients who are in the up to date “at risk” groups.
The UK Health Security Agency have some really useful blogs explaining who is eligible for covid and flu jabs. Not everyone who is able to have a free NHS flu jab, can access a Covid-19 vaccination.
