FLU CLINICS 2022
We have a Flu clinic booked for Saturday 22nd October 8.00am - 12.30pm at Leven.
If you are over 65 or between 18-64 and are clinically eligible, please telephone Reception after 2pm to book your flu vaccination.
Please note that we are not providing COVID vaccinations and these will need to be booked by telephoning 119 or via the national booking system.
General practices in Leven & Beeford, Hornsea and Driffield are working together and have become a Primary Care Network. We are enhancing access to our services by providing more appointments outside of our normal working hours. This will start on 1st October 2022.
We want this service to meet your needs so are asking your opinion on, when you would like these additional appointments, and what you would like them for. To complete the survey, please click
We have received new guidance regarding the wearing of face masks in GP surgeries from NHS England.
Patients who have any respiratory symptoms (coughs, wheezing, etc.) should continue to wear facemasks / face coverings, if tolerated, when coming into any of our buildings. This is for the safety of our other patients, our staff and our community.
If you are Covid-19 positive please do not come into any of our buildings, unless specifically invited in by a clinician.
Patients without respiratory symptoms or who are Covid-19 negative no longer need to wear facemasks when coming in for an appointment, unless this is their personal preference.
In addition, GP and Pharmacy Staff are now not required to wear facemasks, unless it is their personal preference.
NHS England has launched a survey to find out people’s views and experiences of veterans mental and physical health services. The information gathered will be used to help inform the development and provision of these services in the future.
OUR NEXT PATIENT GROUP MEETING IS:
WEDNESDAY 29TH JUNE 1.30PM AT BEEFORD
We are pleased to announce we have been accredited as a veteran friendly practice. Please let the practice know if you have ever served in the armed forces, even for just a day. This includes both men and women and could include service in the Second World War, Northern Ireland, the Falklands, Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan and Iraq. We can then update your health record.
We are looking to set up a Veteran Support Group, if you would like to be involved, please contact our Business Manager terriwardell@nhs.net
Message for patients of our practice with Diabetes:
As you know, as part of your diabetes annual review, urine testing is really important to look for early signs of kidney damage. We do this through a test called the albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR) test, which looks for small amounts of protein in the urine.
We know people struggle to do the test, and many would prefer to avoid the clinic and test at home wherever possible. That’s why we are offering a new, NHS funded service to allow people to do this test at home with a kit and a smartphone.
If you meet the criteria for the new service, you will receive a text message (or a letter) about this testing process, which is run by Healthy.io. If you want to find out more, please click here:

Looking forward to hearing your feedback!
Could we remind patients that anyone with a cough, including children, should have a negative PCR test before booking an appointment.
Many thanks
Thank you to all who completed our patient survey, here are the results Patient survey 2021.pdf
Please be aware that from Monday 19th July, NHS patients, staff and visitors must continue to wear face coverings and follow social distancing measures in healthcare settings.

- loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you've noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal
Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital.
