Winter Health
We have put together a selection of resources that we think will help our patients over the coming winter months. Please see the information below.
Cost Of Living Resource
We have created a resource page full of useful links to services for patients in the York area relating to issues created by the cost of living crisis.
Long Term Conditions
A long-term condition is an illness that cannot be cured. It can usually be controlled with medicines or other treatments.
Examples of long-term conditions include diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, epilepsy, asthma and some mental health conditions.
Mental Health
All of us can experience problems with our mental health at times. This can include anxiety, depression, emotional difficulties, OCD among other things. This can be triggered by life stresses, relationships, bereavement’s among many different triggers.
York Medical Group recognises the importance and value of investing in specialist mental health support as part of our care we offer to patients.
Minor Illness
Clinical problems and conditions are classed as minor illness when they can be self-treated or are uncomplicated thus not requiring further investigation.
Young Persons Health
We understand that Young people will want to access a GP practice but may not have done so without the help of the parents previously. We offer a confidential service which means we wont tell anyone else what you say, the only time this may happen is if we think you may be at risk, even then we will always try to get your consent first.
Menopause
We hope you find the following information useful. The menopause consultation is an ideal opportunity to encourage and enable you through healthy lifestyle choices and where possible, we can support your informed choice. Our aim is to provide you with all the information available in order to make these choices. Our GP Partner Rose Smith has curated the below information to support our patients.
Pain Management
Our physio team have put together useful information about long term pain, back pain and Osteoarthritis
Your Health App Finder
Apps present a fantastic opportunity to provide us with valuable health information which can help us not only improve the quality of our healthcare, but also help us to live healthier lives. The market is awash with apps, though, and we have no ability to see whether what is being downloaded will actually improve our health or if our personal data will be stored safely.
ORCHA carry out independent and impartial reviews of health and care related apps, and you’ll see that the resultant information is clearly presented for us throughout this website. We can be reassured that any apps shown on this site have undergone a rigorous review process, and can feel confident as we choose the best app for us.
