A coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine developed by Pfizer/BioNTech has been approved for use in the UK.

We understand that many patients will want to know more about the vaccination, when you will be vaccinated and what it means for you. It is important to know that the NHS will contact you with further information when it is your turn to have the coronavirus vaccination.

GP practice phone lines are extremely busy at the moment. Please do not contact your GP practice for information about the vaccine, the NHS will contact you with further information when it is your turn to be vaccinated. Please help keep phone lines free for those patients who need urgent help.

We will continue to update our website as and when we have more information. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

GP practices across Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven are now able to offer patients increased access to routine appointments with GPs, nurses and other healthcare professionals from locally-based hubs.

This service provides all registered patients with access to pre-bookable routine GP appointments from 6.30pm–8pm Monday to Friday, and from 8.30am–11.30am on weekends.

IG Medical participates in the Care navigation scheme, which is designed to help direct patients to the most appropriate care.

As part of the care navigation initiative, receptionists may ask callers seeking to book an appointment a few simple questions to establish who could best meet their needs.

Patients might then be offered a slot within the practice – for example with a GP, nurse or pharmacist – or be referred to other services e.g. wellbeing or community services.

Care navigation will only be applicable to adults and is completely voluntary.
