Alwoodley Medical Centre, on Saxon Mount, off King Lane, opened its doors in March 2016 in a brand new building.
This partnership between GPs at the practice and clinicians from Harrogate District Hospital and community services provides high quality services closer to people’s homes.
We’re very pleased to be working closely with GP colleagues at Alwoodley Medical Practice to provide these outreach clinics. This is a really positive partnership that brings important services into the heart of the local community.
Patients are able to choose to access services at Alwoodley Medical Centre, saving time and avoiding the potential inconvenience of a trip to hospital. People will still receive the same high quality, professional care as you would in hospital because it is the same members of staff providing the service.
Access our services by speaking to your own GP, or the receptionist at Alwoodley Medical Centre.
