Welcome to Howden Medical Centre. Our list is open and we welcome new patients into a modern healthcare centre with a dedicated team of clinicians and staff committed to delivering high quality care to all our patients. The surgery is accessible and we have easy on-site car parking facilities.
This website is designed to keep our patients in touch with practice services and to support you with a wealth of health information. It is constantly under development to take advantage of new technologies which support patient care, streamline administrative processes and improve convenience.
COVID-19 treatments are offered to people who are at the highest risk of
becoming seriously ill from COVID-19 and test positive in the community.
Humber and North Yorkshire has a Single Point of Contact which triages patients
who may be eligible and then refers suitable patients onto an appropriate
service. If you believe you are eligible and have tested positive for
COVID-19 (confirmed by a PCR/LFT test) and are symptomatic, you can
self-refer to the triage service using the link below:
If you are unable to do this, you can contact your GP or NHS
111 for a referral to the service.
Over the last 12 months, Sutton Manor Surgery has had 1,226 appointments wasted due to patients not attending their booked appointment.
This is equivalent to more than 50 days of wasted appointments. At a time when the NHS is more stretched than ever and appointments difficult to book, this is a colossal waste of NHS resources.
If you cannot make o appointment, please cancel it either by calling us or online via the Klinic system.
Demand for appointments is at unparalleled levels. The 999 service is for medical emergencies only. For health advice if it is less than an emergency or if the surgery is closed, NHS 111 service is available on-line or by dialing 111. Please read our 'Choose the Right Service' feature on this page to find the service most appropriate for your needs.

Dementia Friends is an Alzheimer’s Society initiative that sets out to change people’s perceptions of dementia. It aims to transform the way the nation thinks, acts, and talks about the condition. Howden Medical Centre is proud to be a supporter of this campaign. We are committed to working with the Alzheimer’s Society to make improvements, where this is appropriate and possible, to our systems, cultures, diagnosis and care and our physical environment.
We will continue to make positive changes to improve our accessibility for patients with dementia and would be happy to hear from you if you have any suggestions. Please get in touch with the practice manager if there is anything we can do to make your visits to us easier.
If you care for someone with dementia it is important for you to have access to information and support as well. Please ensure the practice knows that you are a carer.
