COVID restrictions are ending in many settings in England. However, Public Health England’s infection prevention control guidelines are set to remain in place for all staff, patients and visitors.

Therefore we are asking all staff and patients at IG Medical to continue to wear a face mask/covering (unless you are exempt) and follow social distancing rules. 

We thank you for your continued support in keeping our staff and patients protected.

Our flu clinics will become available to book via telephone from Tuesday 17th August.

GP – one salaried role available

IG Medical are a looking for an enthusiastic, innovative and forward thinking GP to join our team across two sites in Ilkley, a spa town on the edge of the Dales, and the beautiful market town of Grassington.

GP practice phone lines are extremely busy at the moment. Please do not contact your GP practice for information about the vaccine or vaccine ‘passports’. Please help keep phone lines free for those patients who need urgent help. 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.
