About the Sleights and Sandsend Medical Practice

The practice formed as a result of a merger in April 2011. There are two surgeries, a main surgery in Sleights and a branch surgery in Sandsend. Both of the surgeries carry on the traditions and philosophies of the two previous seperate practices which have been serving the area for many years. Although both  of the practices have been around since the early days of the NHS, the current Churchfield Surgery was purpose built over 25 years ago while the branch surgery in Sandsend has been in operation for more than 30 years, however this has recently been redeveloped in 2016. The Practice is proud to serve Sleights and Sandsend as well as Whitby and its surrounding villages.

If you wish to register with us please speak to one of the receptionists. They will be happy to explain the registration process, answer any questions and discuss any preference of practitioner you may have.
