Online services

You can contact us online about your non-urgent medical problem or to ask an admin question. Ask for help anytime, anywhere within the UK, and with any device. Using online consultations allows us to safely decide on the best way to help you, your child, or an adult in your care. We aim to reply to this service within one working day, however this may not always be the case. This service must not be used for urgent problems or medical emergencies.
Order repeat prescriptions online
Patient Access allows you to order repeat prescriptions, as well as book GP appointments and find local health services for you or your family via your mobile or home computer.
Sleights and Sandsend Medical Practice
is part of the Whitby, Coast and Moors Primary Care Network (PCN). PCNs have been created to help integrate primary care with secondary and community services and provide care at greater scale. In doing this we can develop the services we offer to meet the needs of our local population.
Our new website has links that take you to our main PCN website to avoid duplication of information across each of our local GP practices. The ‘your health’ menu tab will take you to information about all the services in our local area, information about managing conditions and looking after you and your family.
You can find out more about our network by clicking on the ‘our network’ tab in the main menu. To get back to our individual practice site, simply select our practice name from the ‘practice websites’ menu tab.
We welcome your feedback and comments on our new website.
