**IMPORTANT** 

Our practice is one of over 500 GP surgeries across England working with researchers at the University of Exeter on a large research study

The researchers are trying to find out if a new computer-based risk assessment tool can help to identify cancer earlier

Half of the GP surgeries will be given access to the risk assessment tool and half will not

We are taking part in the study

Patients may be contacted by us and invited to take part in the research to:

•      Explore your experience of care
•      Discuss your current health
•      Look at the NHS services you are using

Welcome to the Sherburn & Rillington Practice Website

We are confident that our website will provide clear and concise help and give our patients the information they require in an easy and convenient format. It has been designed with the patient’s needs at the forefront of everything, from checking surgery times to letting us know what you think of us.

Serving You

Our dedicated team are here to treat those minor ailments that occur as well as providing specialist management of long-term conditions and clinics covering a wide range of healthcare issues. The technology also means you can now do a lot of things from the comfort of your home such as order a repeat prescription or cancel an appointment.

Partners in Care

Once registered, patients and healthcare professionals work together to ensure the most appropriate care is provided. This partnership philosophy extends even further and our active patient group exists to make sure that patient needs and the practice offering are always heading in the same direction.
