Extended Hours

As some of our patients find it difficult to attend daytime sessions during the working week, we now provide a number of pre-bookable appointments on some evenings and Saturday mornings. These can be booked by contacting the surgery during normal working hours.

Saturday morning surgery and Monday evening surgery are for pre-booked appointments only.

Minor Illness Clinics

The Practice has Minor Illness Clinics that are held each weekday morning and afternoon at Strensall and Stamford Bridge surgeries. These clinics are run by different clinicians every day and aim to improve availability of appointments for minor illnesses.

Please speak to a receptionist for more information

NHS Health Check Programme

The new NHS Health Check Programme aims to help prevent heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease by undertaking a number of health checks including blood tests and blood pressure readings.

Everyone between the ages of 40 and 74, who has not already been diagnosed with one of these conditions, will be invited (once every five years) to have a check to assess their risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and diabetes and will be given support and advice to help them reduce or manage that risk.

The centre was established in 1996 by the York Health Trust, City of York Council and North Yorkshire County Council in order to identify and support unpaid Carers in the area. York Carers Centre became a charity in summer 2009.
