Welcome to The York Medical Practice

Services on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th January between 8am-8pm.

We have put on extra services over this weekend if you need urgent medical help that is not a life-threatening 999 emergency.

This is to help local hospitals and the ambulance service as they are extremely busy at the moment.

To access these services in Richmond please telephone 0333 405 2050 where you will be assessed by a clinician and offered an appointment if clinically required. This may be a video appointment or a face to face appointment.

Outside of these hours please call 111.

You could also consider using your local pharmacy for non-urgent health advice.

Please only call 999 if it is a life-threatening emergency.

COVID-19 Vaccination 

We understand that a number of patients will have questions about the Coronavirus vaccine. We are awaiting confirmation of our delivery date from NHS England – the deliveries are being managed centrally and are out of the control of the practice. Please do not call or visit reception to ask about the vaccine. If you are eligible for the vaccine we will contact you to book your appointment.

Please see our dedicated information page.

COVID-19 VACCINATION

Practice Announcement

The Practice wishes to inform patients that Dr Quentin Parsons, Senior Partner, will be retiring from the Practice at the end of February 2021. We wish him a very happy and lengthy retirement and thank him for his many years service to the Practice and patients. He will be much missed by staff and patients alike.

New Team Members

As part of the NHS Long Term Plan for Primary Care we now have some new roles within the practice.

Physician Associate – Anusha joined our team in November 2020. Anusha is full time working Monday – Friday and supports the Doctors and Nursing team in the management of patients. Anusha is trained to perform a number of roles including: taking medical histories, performing examinations, analysing test results and diagnosing illnesses under the direct supervision of a Doctor.

Social Prescribing Link Worker – Callum and Sarah have been working as part of the practice team since March 2020. The team specialise in referring and signposting people to services outside the NHS which offer the opportunity for health, wellbeing and practical and emotional support.

Clinical Pharmacists – Our team of Clinical Pharmacists support the Doctors and Nurses in processing repeat prescription requests, actioning medication changes and discussing medication queries with patients. In the new year the team will begin supporting us with clinics such as NHS Health Checks and Hypertension Reviews.

Flu Vaccinations

If you are 50 years and over or in an at risk group please call the practice to book your Flu Vaccine.

We are here if you need us

Due to the coronavirus pandemic it has been necessary to change the way that we run the appointment system at the practice. All appointments will initially start as a phone consultation with a clinician. Following that telephone call, the clinician may decide that you need a face to face consultation at the practice. We are minimising the number of patients in the practice at any one time and we have social distancing measures in place in our waiting room. If you are attending for an appointment please do not arrive early as you may be asked to wait outside until your appointment time. 

For Parents/Carers:

If your child is unwell and you need advice from the practice then please contact us as you usually would.  Please do not delay contacting your practice and seeking advice if you and your child need it. During the COVID19 pandemic, don’t come to the practice – contact us first.

 Please check the information linked below which will help you decide what you need to do:
