About the Surgery

Cawood Surgery is a small branch surgery, operating for a restricted number of hours. It caters for patients registered with the Practice who live in Cawood, Wistow, Ryther, Biggin, Cawood and Wistow Commons, and Wistow Lordship.

We dispense medicines at the surgery for these patients. We regret that we cannot dispense to any patient for whom we do not have specific authority. Generally, this covers patients who live outside the catchment area.
    
    

Which GPs attend?

Dr Benson,  Dr Barnsley and Dr Bradley-Wood run 4 surgeries a week at Cawood Surgery, between them. Due to the nature of the surgery, the service we can offer is limited, and for certain problems, patients may be asked to attend the main site in Selby. Occasionally it maybe necessary for other GPs from Posterngate to run the surgeries at Cawood.

In addition, there is 1 Nurse clinic weekly for dressings, blood pressure checks, blood taking etc.
    
    

Opening Hours

The surgery is open at the following times:

Monday 3.30pm-6.00pm Dr Barnsley

Tuesday 8.30am-12.00am Dr Bradley-Wood

Wednesday 8.30am-12.00am Nurse Clinic

Thursday 3.30pm-6.00pm Dr Bradley-Wood / Dr. Barnsley

Friday 3.30pm-6.00pm Dr Barnsley

Please note that these hours are the opening times and that surgeries do not run throughout them.

We operate appointment only surgeries, and cannot guarantee that 'Same day' or 'urgent' problems will be seen at Cawood, and patients may be asked to attend Posterngate, in these circumstances.
    
    

Dispensing Medicines

We carry a wide variety of medicines at the surgery. However, we cannot stock everything patients might need. Therefore, if something unusual is prescribed, you may be asked to wait until we can order the medication. This usually takes no more than 1 working day. Alternatively, you can take the prescription to any pharmacy to see if they can complete your order.

We have introduced a similar system at Cawood Surgery to that which we run at Posterngate for patients to order Repeat Prescriptions.

We require 1 working days notice of your requirements, in order that we can authorise, check and process your request. Requests may be made either in Cawood, or at Posterngate, but items will be available to collect from Cawood Surgery.

Catchment area

To make an appointment you may contact Posterngate Surgery, or call in at the branch. We regret that we can only see patients at the branch surgeries, if they live in the appropriate catchment area.
