At Haxby Scarborough, we want your care to feel smooth and reassuring. 🤍

Sometimes, after carefully reviewing your symptoms and appointment request, a clinician may book you with a different member of our clinical team. This is always a considered decision to make sure you see the right person, at the right time, for your needs.

We know the range of job titles can feel confusing, so we’ve created a simple guide explaining who’s who and how each role supports your care:
🔗 https://ow.ly/olFA50XXUsR

You may be seen by:
• GPs – Doctors who diagnose, treat and refer for specialist care
• Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACPs) – Highly trained clinicians who can assess, diagnose, prescribe and manage treatment
• Nursing Team – Practice Nurses and HCAs providing immunisations, cervical screening, long-term condition care, travel vaccines and lifestyle support
• Social Prescribers – Supporting emotional, social and practical needs by linking you with local services
• First Contact Practitioners (FCPs) – Specialists such as physiotherapists or paramedics for fast access after GP triage
• Mental Health Practitioners – Providing evidence-based mental health support
• Clinical Pharmacists – Experts in medicines, prescriptions and long-term condition management

No matter who you see, our team works closely together to provide safe, high-quality, patient-centred care.

👉 If you ever have questions about who you’re seeing or why, please just ask – we’re always happy to help!

You can get oral contraception and emergency contraception directly from participating pharmacies, without needing a prescription or GP appointment. This makes accessing contraception quicker and more convenient, helping you stay in control of your s*xual health. Trained pharmacy teams can offer confidential advice and support to help you choose the right option for you. 💊🩺

Emergency contraception can stop you getting pregnant after unprotected s*x (s*x without contraception or when contraception might have failed). If you need emergency contraception after having unprotected s*x, speak to your local pharmacist as soon as you can. You need to use emergency contraception within 3 to 5 days of having unprotected s*x. ✨
