Patients can self-refer to the musculoskeletal (physio) service via the Your Physio website. The website has a number of useful leaflets and videos about joint and muscular conditions and it guides you through the self-referral process.

The NHS podiatry service in York and Selby locality is provided by the Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust via White Cross Court and other local community clinics. Patients can now self refer to use this service where appropriate. For more information on what conditions they can treat and to arrange a referral - visit their website here.

If you have been referred to the Pain Clinic, you may experience a wait of 10-12 months. They have developed a useful resource full of support for patients with chronic pain, including: pacing, guidance on limitations of pain medication for chronic pain, exercises, affect on mood and wellbeing.

As we head in to the summer months, it’s a useful time to highlight that we cannot help with medical issues if you are on holiday abroad. Remember to pack sun cream and a good first aid kit when travelling. Pharmacies in Europe can often help with minor illness such as ear ache or insect bites. In the event that you need medical assistance while on holiday, you should seek a local service and inform your insurance company as appropriate. We recommend you have adequate travel insurance. If you are travelling to a country in the Europe Economic Area (EEA), you can apply for a free UK Global Health Insurance Card (EHIC) which may give you access to free or reduced cost medical treatment. You can see more advice about your health when travelling on our news page: https://www.priorymedical.com/latest-news/holidays-and-your-health/ A reminder re our policy on prescriptions for travelling: https://www.priorymedical.com/prescriptions/

June is #NationalScoliosisAwarenessMonth, scoliosis is when a spine twists and curves to the side. We do not know why scoliosis happens in some people and not in others. Some patients have family members with scoliosis. Scoliosis can occur at any age, but most commonly it develops during early adolescence. This is a period of rapid growth when a child’s body starts to grow and becomes more adult. Treatment varies and might include physiotherapy, a brace, or surgery. Sometimes no treatment at all is needed but the curve in the spine is monitored to see if it gets worse. To learn more about scoliosis: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/scoliosis/
