Heartbeat was formed in 2014 after GPs, nurses and managers across Hambleton and Richmondshire felt that they could do more to retain local services for patients. This continues to date and fits in with the current NHS 10 year plan.
Harewood are an NHS practice based in Catterick Garrison providing the full range of services expected from a GP practice.
Their GPs have a range of clinical skills and specialisms. Harewood also have Advanced Nurse Practitioners who, the same as the GPs, can diagnose conditions, issue prescriptions and refer patients to hospital consultants.
Appointments can be booked in advance and may be booked on the day for patients who need to be seen urgently. Telephone appointments are also available for conditions that can be dealt with without a visit to the surgery, and there are also face-to-face appointments in the surgery with a nurse or healthcare assistant.
