Important information about Walkergate branch surgery and your GP practice

Posted on:

Please make sure you share this with everyone in your home that uses the practice.

After discussions with Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (the local health authority), Greengates Medical Group has made the difficult, but necessary decision to close the Walkergate branch surgery permanently from March 2025.

All current registered patients will remain patients of Greengates Medical Group, so you do not need to take any action.

All services at Greengates Medical Group will continue as normal. This means:

  • You will be able to see the same doctors and nurses as you do now.
  • Opening times will remain the same.
  • All clinics and support services will remain the same.

Our aim is to provide high-quality NHS primary medical care for all our patients, and our decision to close the site is based upon a number of factors – delivering modern health and care services from Walkergate Surgery is no longer possible as it is unfit for purpose and closing the site will allow us to provide better service to help meet the demand for all our patients at our other sites.  We have invested significantly in the Molescroft Surgery building, and now own the site and have provided a further six clinical rooms to further improve patient services. The Walkergate branch surgery’s will therefore close to patients on Wednesday 26th March 2025.

All our other sites will remain open, and you can make an appointment be seen at any of these sites:

Greenwood Avenue Surgery, 25 Greenwood Avenue, Beverley HU17 0HB

Minstergate Surgery, Lincoln Way, Beverley HU17 8RH

Molescroft Surgery, 30 Lockwood Road, Beverley HU17 9GQ

Cottingham Medical Centre, 17-19 South Street, Cottingham HU16 4AJ

You can contact us via the same surgery number 01482 881298 for any of the sites as phone lines will divert if busy. 

You can still contact us via email at:
