York Medical Group - 32 Clifton

General information

York Medical Group has 8 GP sites across York.

On this page we offer health tips from trusted sources as well sharing information about our own services and clinics. We cannot offer any medical advice via this page. We also cannot deal with complaints or feedback but can pass this information on.

Patients are registered with the practice, not an individual GP. However, you can, at any time, express a preference for a particular doctor, and we will do our best to respect your choice. However, not all the doctors in the practice provide all services and specific doctors may not be immediately available.

All GP practices are contracted to provide Essential Services, that is, basic treatment of ill people.

Private Fees for Non-NHS work from April 2011

The proper role of the GP is the care of patients who are, or believe themselves to be, ill. As a result, certain services are not included on the NHS, eg private certificates for employers, medical examinations for job applications, fitness to drive (HGV/PSV), etc. When you hand requests to us, please check if a fee will be charged.

Fees start at £15.00 and increase according to the amount of work involved and responsibility taken. We do not offer this service on a Monday or a Tuesday (as these are our busiest clinical days).

York Medical Group is yellow fever compliant.
