On Thursday 17th July, all our sites will be closed during the afternoon for a York-wide training event (Practice Learning Time). Urgent clinical cover will be offered by Nimbuscare and more information about this will be shared next week. During the Summer months we sometimes consolidate the staff at our smaller sites to avoid lone working - this may mean some afternoon closures at Park View and Victoria Way. The nearby sites will remain open so patients can use Heworth Green or Tang Hall Lane. A reminder that we have a lunchtime closure at all sites between 12.15 - 1pm daily.

Physio, Podiatry and Pain
Physiotherapy & Podiatry
Patients can self-refer to the musculoskeletal (physio) service via the Your Physio website. The website has a number of useful leaflets and videos about joint and muscular conditions and it guides you through the self-referral process.
The NHS podiatry service in York and Selby locality is provided by the Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust via White Cross Court and other local community clinics. Patients can now self refer to use this service where appropriate. For more information on what conditions they can treat and to arrange a referral - visit their website here.
If you have been referred to the Pain Clinic, you may experience a wait of 10-12 months. They have developed a useful resource full of support for patients with chronic pain, including: pacing, guidance on limitations of pain medication for chronic pain, exercises, affect on mood and wellbeing.
