The changes NHS England has planned are to be effective from 1 November 2023 and enable all patients with online access, over the age of 16, to automatically have prospective (future) access to all their medical records held electronically in GP systems.

Please be aware we are experiencing a very high volume of calls. Where possible please avoid calling at peak times which are normally between at 8:00am and 10:00am every morning. 

If you are calling regarding a routine matter that doesn't require medical attention on the day (blood tests results, booking routine appointments like GP follow up appointments or annual reviews), please call us after 2pm. If you require medical attention on that day, please wait to speak to Reception.

This way you can help us to direct you to the right person and get medical attention when you need it. Thank you for your understanding during these unprecedented times.

You may call in to any of our 3 surgeries in person during opening hours (8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday) where a member of our friendly Reception Team will be happy to help you.

The surgeries are located here:

Bridge Street

Otley 

LS21 1BQ

Charles Street 

Otley 

LS21 1BJ

Tredgold Crescent

Bramhope

LS16 9BR

Due to excessive demands for normal health appointments with our Nursing Team, we can no longer provide travel advice.  You can obtain this from a private travel clinic (www.masta-travel-health.com). 

If you are planning a trip abroad and think you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel, please use the website Travel Health Pro (www.travelhealthpro.org.uk) to determine what vaccinations you are required / advised to have and Fit for Travel (www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk) for up-to-date travel advice for your destination.  This will include which countries and areas within countries you are visiting.

If you need your vaccination records, patients registered at Chevin Medical Practice can access these through online patient access or call into the Practice to request a printed copy. 

The only free travel vaccinations included by the NHS (i.e. the only vaccines we administer) are below (dependent on both appointment and vaccine availability – please allow at least 6 weeks before your intended trip):

• Polio, Diphtheria and Tetanus booster (3 in 1 vaccine) – 10 years protection
• Hepatitis A – 25 years protection after 2 doses
• Typhoid fever – 3 years protection
• Cholera (only if considered high risk)

These vaccines are free because they protect against diseases thought to represent the greatest risk to public health if they were brought into the country.

If you have any further queries, please speak to a member of the Reception Team. 

GP CPCS provides a mechanism for patients to be referred by general practice to community pharmacy for minor illness. Using this new service can help alleviate pressure on GP appointments by harnessing the skills and knowledge of community pharmacists to treat a range of minor illnesses and allowing GPs to focus on more complex patients. The service gives a patient a same-day appointment in a community pharmacy, either face to face or remotely.

Please note our Reception team may triage your call and make a digital referral to a convenient pharmacy where you will receive relevant treatment and advice on the same day.
