📢 Important Practice Update – Change of Location

From Tuesday 16th December, Eastfield Medical Centre will no longer be operating GP services from Lawrence House Medical Centre.
Patients must not attend Lawrence House Medical Centre for GP-related enquiries, prescription requests, or to drop off samples, as these will not be accepted at this site.

💙 A Special Thank You

We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to Lawrence House Medical Centre and Brook Square Surgery and all of their staff for their unwavering support and the kindness they have shown to both our staff and our patients during this time. We are extremely grateful.

We are pleased to confirm that some GP services will be returning to the Eastfield community, with appointments available at the following locations:

📍 The Lounge, St Cecilia’s
1 Eastway, Eastfield
Scarborough, YO11 3LS

At this location, we will have access to two clinical rooms.
This means both a GP and a Health Care Assistant will be onsite to provide patient care.

👉 Please note: Our new rooms at St Cecilia’s are located at the front of the building, and samples can also be dropped off at this location.

📍 The Dentist Rooms within Fashionable Fitness
Dunslow Road, Eastfield
Scarborough, YO11 3UT

With access to four clinical rooms, this location will allow GPs and nurses to see patients and deliver a range of clinics.

📍St Catherine’s (Interim Appointments)
In addition to our local Eastfield services, we will continue to offer a limited number of appointments from our rooms at St Catherine’s on an interim basis for patients who are happy to travel.

🧠 First Contact Mental Health Appointments
These appointments will be held at Castle Health Centre, located at 3–4 York Place, Scarborough, YO11 2NP. Patients with appointments will be contacted with further details.

📣 Building Update
When the flooding first occurred, we assessed the damage and believed we would be out of the building for around 4–6 weeks. We never imagined that it would be almost six months, with repair work still not started.

It’s therefore been refreshing for all of us to see that the contractors have now started stripping out the building, ready for the repair work to begin. We’re really pleased to see this progress and are hopeful that the work will continue without delay after Christmas.

We will continue to keep patients updated as the repairs move forward.

📢 Eastfield Medical Centre – Progress and Local Support

🗓️ Week 19 since the flood

We know how difficult these past months have been and want to thank everyone in our Eastfield community for your continued patience and understanding while we work to restore local services. 💙

⸻

🏛 Recent Developments

🧱 On Friday 31st October, a surveyor visited the site to assess the damage caused by the second flood. We are now awaiting his report to determine the next steps required to move forward with repairs. 🧰

On Thursday 30th October, We met with MP Alison Hume, who visited the Eastfield site to see first-hand the extent of the damage. We are very grateful for her time and support in helping us work towards restoring medical services in Eastfield as soon as possible. 🙏

On the same day, we also met with representatives from The Lounge, St Cecilia’s Day Centre
(1 Eastway, Eastfield, Scarborough, YO11 3LS) to explore ways they can help support local residents and the continued delivery of care. 🤝

⸻

🩺 Service Update

We’re pleased to confirm that, from Tuesday 4th November, we will have access to a dedicated clinical room at The Lounge (St Cecilia’s).

This will allow our Health Care Assistant to provide a range of essential services locally, including:
💉 Blood tests
📋 Long-term condition reviews
🩹 Stitch and clip removals
⚕️ Other routine care appointments

We are also in discussions regarding the possibility of a second clinical room at St Cecilia’s to help us further increase local access to care.

We continue to operate services from our temporary locations:

🏥 St Catherine’s Hospice – Throxenby Lane, Scarborough, YO12 5RE
(3 clinical rooms – approx. 6 miles from Eastfield)

🏥 Lawrence House Medical Centre – 1 Belgrave Crescent, Scarborough, YO11 1UB
(2 clinical rooms – approx. 3 miles from Eastfield)

🏥 Brook Square Surgery (Trafalgar House) – 41–44 Trafalgar Street West, Scarborough, YO12 7AS
(2 clinical rooms for our Mental Health & Physiotherapy practitioner appointments – approx. 3 miles from Eastfield)

We are also very grateful to:

💙 Happy Futures Support Specialist – Unit 19 Business Park, Manor Garth, Eastfield, YO11 3TU – for continuing to hold our vaccine fridge and support our flu vaccination clinics.

🏡 Jazz Court (Sanctuary Supported Living) – for continuing to house our administrative teams, enabling us to keep essential functions running smoothly.

🚐 Mobile POD Update

We were initially able to continue running appointments from the St Catherine’s mobile POD, which was connected to the electrical supply within the Eastfield Medical Centre building. ⚡

However, following the second flood, the building’s electrics sustained further damage, meaning it is no longer safe to connect the POD. As a result, we have had to use a generator to power it.

Unfortunately, because the generator is located directly underneath the POD, it has created significant noise, making it difficult for clinicians to carry out assessments — particularly when listening to patients’ chests and breathing. 🔊

We are actively looking for a safe and suitable location with in Eastfield to connect the POD to an electrical system, ideally with some shelter for patients to wait comfortably. Finding a secure and practical solution remains one of our top priorities. 💪

💉 Vaccination Update

We have prioritised our housebound patients by conducting home visits for both flu and COVID vaccinations.

Our team has ensured that patients living in:
🏠 Cayton View Care Home
🏠 Jazz Court
🏠 Happy Futures
🏠 and all housebound patients in their own homes

…have either already been vaccinated or are on our to-do list for upcoming visits. ✅

This ongoing effort ensures that our most vulnerable patients remain protected, thanks to the dedication of our clinical staff and the continued support of our community partners. 💚

⸻

📞 Please Note

Patients are kindly asked not to contact any of the locations where our clinical or administrative teams are currently working.

For all enquiries, please contact us in the usual way on 📞 01723 582297, and our dedicated staff will be happy to help. 💬

Repeat prescriptions can be ordered:
📱 Through the NHS App, or
💊 By dropping your repeat slip at Eastfield Pharmacy, where our staff collect requests daily.

⸻

🤝 Continuing Efforts

We remain in close contact with the NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) as we continue pressing for clarity on the building repair schedule.

Our priority remains to bring services back to the Eastfield Medical Centre site safely and without further delay. 🧱

⸻

💬 Thank You

We want to once again thank all our patients for their continued patience, understanding, and support during this challenging time.

To all of you — we truly appreciate your support. 💙

We will continue to provide updates as soon as there is any further progress.
