Services
GP Consultations
Our general practice consultations provide comprehensive primary healthcare through experienced GPs. Patients access routine and urgent appointments via online triage or phone booking. The service ensures appropriate clinician allocation and timely care for both acute and chronic conditions.
Vaccinations
We offer NHS-funded and private vaccinations including flu jabs, travel vaccines, and routine immunisations. Travel health consultations require 12-week advance booking, with specialist nurses advising on destination-specific health requirements and vaccine schedules.
Blood Tests
Our healthcare assistants perform blood tests daily until 11:30am, with samples processed by York Hospital. Patients requiring urgent tests after midday may access alternative clinics at The Community Stadium or Vanguard locations without prior booking.
Annual Health Reviews
Structured annual reviews for chronic conditions combine blood tests and nurse/GP consultations during patients' birth month. This proactive approach manages diabetes, heart disease, asthma, and other long-term conditions to prevent complications and maintain quality of life.
Cervical Screening
Practice nurses conduct cervical smear tests for women aged 25-65, with three-year intervals for under-50s and five-year intervals for older patients. Results are communicated securely through NHS App accounts or postal correspondence, with abnormal results triggering specialist referrals.
