Services
General Consultations
Our experienced GPs provide comprehensive consultations for acute and chronic health conditions. Patients can book face-to-face appointments or use our PATCHS online triage system for non-urgent matters. The practice maintains staggered surgery hours from 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday with emergency home visits available before 11am.
Prescription Management
We offer efficient prescription services through online platforms and in-person submissions. Patients must complete an online services form with photo ID to access digital prescriptions, or submit written requests at either our Garforth or Elmwood surgeries during opening hours.
Health Checks
Free health assessments are available for patients who haven't seen a GP in three years. These comprehensive checks help identify potential health risks and include specialist clinics for diabetes, respiratory conditions, and cardiovascular health.
Vaccinations
We provide routine childhood immunisations and adult vaccination programmes including travel health jabs. Our travel clinic requires completed risk assessment forms submitted at least two weeks before departure to ensure proper vaccine preparation.
Online Triage
Our PATCHS and SystmConnect platforms allow patients to submit medical queries and appointment requests digitally. These systems operate Monday-Friday 8am-6pm and help prioritise urgent cases while reducing unnecessary face-to-face visits.
