The National recall for Cervical Screening is recommencing with letters starting to be sent out centrally.  To help we have made available appointments to book via systmonline without the need to call us.  Please only book if you are overdue or receive a reminder letter

The appointment list displays which site the appointments are at and can be found under the session type of Treatment Room.  The appointment slots are called smear only.  If you are unable to find a time slot that suits your availability you can still call us to book.

Coronavirus symptoms include new continuous cough OR fever OR loss of taste/smell. If you or a household member have any of these symptoms please see the information on https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/​. This has details about symptoms, self-isolation, note for employer and self referral for testing for anyone over 5yrs old with symptoms. 

Some patients will have received text messages and letters to state that they should be socially sheilding.

The Government has indicated that further identification of High Clinical Risk patients is currently taking place.

These patients will first receive a text message from the NHS (not the practice). This will be followed by a letter being sent in the post and then eventually the code being added to your record.

If you receive a text please wait for the letter to arrive.

We are increasingly getting a number of patients walk in to book appointment, make enquiries and who have prescription queries.

Please do not come to the surgery unless you have a booked appointment or are collecting a prescription/sample pot etc

If you have a prescription query please request these through custom requests on the online system or email the dispensary via their email addresses

We have staff on the prescription telephone lines however they are very busy so please try to send these in via the online system.

Please order online as it saves us time and we can process them sooner.

During this time of unprecedented demand prescriptions may take a little longer to process.

If you have a general enquiry and are struggling to get through on the telephone we would be happy to help answer this via email if you email us at theridingsmedicalgroup@nhs.net

In the current situation to reduce risk from patient contact we are trying to do as many appointments as we can over the telephone.

We are also looking to defer annual and chronic disease reviews where possible.  We are currently not taking bookings for routine procedures.

During this time we have taken the decision to move all routine appointments from South Cave and this site will be reserved for minor illness.

The dispensary at South Cave will remain open and we will have a separate entrance for patient to collect medication.

The dispensaries at the remaining sites will also remain open.

Please do not walk in to South Cave (or any site) for 
appointment bookings.  Patient must call the appointment line.
