About Tollerton Surgery
Tollerton Surgery is long established in the village of Tollerton. According to records there has been a Medical Practice in the village for more than a hundred years, providing health services to the villages of Tollerton, Aldwark, Alne, Flawith, Huby, Newton on Ouse, Linton on Ouse, Shipton by Beningborough and Tholthorpe. Our boundaries extending as far as into Easingwold, up to the River Ouse, and down to the Ring Road and we are happy to register patients from any of these areas.
We are a small practice and as such aim to provide a personal service tailored to the individual and families, following as much as possible the traditional GP role of the family doctor. Our stable and committed team of medical and ancillary staff get to know our patients well. We believe this personal touch is of great benefit to everyone. However, we also work very closely with other local practices in the North Locality which allows us to keep up to date, share local knowledge and create strong links with community and specialist services. We are also part of the SHaR PCN (South Hambleton and Ryedale Primary Care Network) a group of 7 local GP Practices, which allows us to pool resources and skills for larger projects and innovations, as well as allowing us to play an active part within the Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group and the wider health economy.

Testimonials
"We as family have all used the facilities at Tollerton on a regular basis for 10 years. None of us have had any concerns or reason to complain at any time. We have over the years, used all of the means of contacting the practice for appointments & have never had to wait more than say a working week maximum."
A very satisfied family of 3
"The Tollerton Surgery delivers a high standard of care from unsuitable and overcrowded premises. We hope that new surgery facilities will be delivered soon, but until then staff, medical and non medical do a brilliant job in a couple of converted bungalows. I would recommend the practice to anybody."
