York Road Group Practice

We moved to our present purpose built premises on 3 September 1992.

The practice was originally founded in the 1940’s in the Westminster area of Ellesmere Port, progressing to the premises in 102 Whitby Road in the 1960’s and 3a Civic Way in 1970.

💙 A Fond Farewell and a New Chapter for Dr MacDonald 💙

This week marks Dr MacDonald’s last full week with us as a GP Partner, after an incredible journey at our practice since 1994. He is deeply appreciated by everyone – patients and colleagues alike – and it’s very sad to see him step down from this role.

We are delighted, however, that he isn’t leaving completely! Dr MacDonald will be taking a few weeks off and will return in mid-April, working two days a week (Monday & Tuesday) as a salaried GP.

We want to thank him for his decades of dedication, care, and commitment to our practice. 💛 We are so grateful he will still be part of our practice family, even if it’s just a couple of days a week!

Please join us in wishing Dr MacDonald all the very best as he embarks on this next chapter. 🌟

Meet the Team – Rachael 👩‍⚕️✨

My name is Rachael, and I am a GP Assistant at YRGP 🩺. I have been part of the team for over 12 years, during which time I have developed extensive experience in both clinical and administrative support for the GPs 📋💻.

🌍 World TB Day – 24 March

Today we mark World TB Day, raising awareness about tuberculosis (TB) and the global efforts to end it.

TB is preventable and treatable, yet it still affects millions of people worldwide every year. Early diagnosis, access to treatment, and continued public awareness are key to stopping its spread.

Let’s work together to:
✔️ Raise awareness
✔️ Reduce stigma
✔️ Support those affected
✔️ Promote early testing and treatment

Every action brings us closer to a TB-free world. 💙

🌟 Meet the Team – Emma! 🌟

Emma is one of our Admin Apprentices and has recently started her Business Administrative Level 3 Apprenticeship. She has been part of the team for nearly two years and continues to grow in her role every day.

Emma’s favourite part of the job is working with Child Health, especially booking babies and children in for their immunisations and contacting families about outstanding immunisations to help keep our youngest patients protected. 👶💉

As a training practice, we are committed to supporting our team to learn, develop, and progress in their roles, and Emma is a great example of this. 🌱

👋 Meet the Team!

Hi, I’m Georgia!

I’ve been part of the team for nearly 5 years and currently work as the Admin Team Coordinator. I actually started here as an apprentice, and it’s been amazing to grow within the practice.

My role focuses on supporting the admin team and helping ensure the smooth running of day-to-day tasks across the practice.

One of my favourite parts of the role is supporting our elderly patients. Recently, I introduced a 100th Birthday Card initiative, where we send a special card to patients celebrating their 100th birthday — a small gesture to help them feel valued and celebrated on such a special milestone! 🎉🎂

I’m proud to be part of a team that cares so much about our patients and community.

FACTS vs MYTHS: CERVICAL SMEARS 💗
We’re sharing the truth about cervical screening and clearing up common myths. Smear tests play a vital role in detecting early cell changes, often long before symptoms appear. Early detection means early treatment, which is one of the most effective ways to prevent cervical cancer and protect long‑term health.

We have March availability and have added extra smear appointments to support as many patients as possible. If you’re unsure whether you’re due, please contact the practice and our admin team can check for you.
