Chevin Medical Practice

So far 10000 patients at Chevin medical Practice have had at least one vaccination with just over half receiving AstraZeneca. We have had no problems of concern. Nationally we have given 20 million AstraZeneca doses and there is a possible link in 79 cases of an extremely specific and unusual brain clot.

We offer a range of appointments to meet your health needs throughout the working week, including GPs, Practice Nurses, Health Care Assistants, Pharmacist, Physio Advice (MSK), Healthy Minds Service and Wellbeing Co-ordinator (Connect Well).

In addition, we offer a limited number of appointments between 09.30 and 11.30 on Saturday mornings at Aireborough Family Practice, Silver Lane Surgery, 1 Suffolk Court, Silver Lane, Yeadon LS19 7JN (GP, nurse and healthcare assistants).Telephone appointments with Pharmacists, Mental Health practitioners and Physiotherapists are available 7 days a week including bank holidays.

To ensure you are seen by the most appropriate clinician and reduce delays, our reception staff will ask you the reason for the appointment when you call. Please do not be offended when the receptionist asks you for a few details about your problem, this information is treated in the strictest confidence and our trained staff will then arrange an appointment that best suits your needs.

We are now offering a number of extra routine appointments using the Extended Access Service available 7 days a week to better suit your needs. These new services will give you quicker access to the specialist advice and support you need. If you want to discuss medication you are taking or need to have an annual medication review, our staff will direct you to a specialist Pharmacist who is best equipped to deal with these queries.

A patient's health and care needs can range from simple questions that are easily answered all the way to complex conditions that require immediate attention in an acute hospital. Wherever possible, we encourage patients to use self-care or use health services that are more suited to their need and which do not burden GPs unnecessarily.
