Welcome to Ampleforth & Hovingham Surgeries    

Covid-19 Vaccinations

We were thrilled to be involved in Wave 1 of the COVID vaccination programme that commenced this week in 100 GP practices across the country. Our teams have been working tirelessly over the last week to logistically plan for this programme. We have been busy contacting patients over 80 who are eligible for the first wave of this vaccine but with very limited numbers of vaccine in this first wave we have sadly not been able to include everyone at this stage. 

Please do not contact the surgery to book an appointment, we will contact you when we are given a date for the next delivery of the vaccination, however in the meantime, if you wish to familiarise yourself with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccination please follow the link here.

We are working with colleagues in a network of four practices in Ryedale known as North Riding Community Health Network.  Due to the very delicate nature of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine we can only give this at one site as it cannot be moved between surgeries.  Derwent Practice in Malton have been nominated as the site for our Practice network and you will need to travel to Malton to receive your vaccination.

Thank you for your continued support at this very challenging time.  

Please continue to use the NHS website here for up to date information about Covid-19, and there is further help for patients who are recovering from Covid-19 here.

Face Coverings

We are asking patients to wear a face covering when visiting the surgery as the recommended 2 metres social distancing may not be able to be maintained either during a consultation, while waiting for an appointment or when collecting a prescription. Please click here for more information.

Online Consultations

We have introduced an online consultation service so you don’t always need to come into the Practice to get our medical expertise.  You can input your symptoms online and will receive a response from the Practice, generally by telephone, usually by the end of the next working day at the very latest.  You will also have access to reliable and trustworthy self-help generic information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week that may help you to avoid an appointment altogether.

Medication Ordering

Please allow a minimum of 5 working days to order your medication.  We are experiencing delays in medication stock delivery from our wholesalers.

Working with Other Practices During Coronavirus

We have been working hard with other GP Practices to redesign how we provide Primary Care Services to our patients as we work through the Covid-19 outbreak.  We are putting in place a new approach and you may see changes if you access services from Ampleforth & Hovingham Surgeries during this time.  This approach will enable us to make sure that we continue to provide the services patients need in the days, weeks and months ahead.  Our approach sees us working with other GP Practices in a new way by 'clustering together' to form a network to provide services over multiple sites.  This means you may receive services somewhere other than at Ampleforth & Hovingham Surgeries and may see someone other than your usual GP or Nurse.

Extended Access Service

Ampleforth & Hovingham Surgeries work alongside other GP Practices in Ryedale to provide services 7 days per week.  Click here for more information about booking appointments.
