Planned merger between East Parade Surgery and Park Parade Surgery
East Parade and Park Parade Surgeries – Merger Update – April 2024
In March, the Partners and Practice Managers from East Parade and Park Parade Surgeries announced that the two practices plan to merge in October 2024. We said that we would provide regular updates as we work towards becoming one practice.
During March and April, the Partners and Managers have met with our fantastic staff team to answer their questions and to get them involved as we develop our joint ways of working within all areas of the new practice.
Patients and staff have given feedback, and have submitted lots of suggestions for a possible new name for the practice. A shortlist of names will be drawn up and the final decision will be made by a staff vote!
Practice websites will continue to be updated monthly through the year with the latest news.

The Partners of East Parade Surgery and Park Parade Surgery would like to inform you of the planned merger between the two surgeries.
As you may be aware, the two surgeries already work on the same floor of Mowbray Square Medical Centre in Harrogate. We work closely together and share several teams and services. The Partners believe that creating a single, larger practice will allow us to pool the skills of our wonderful team members to create a truly sustainable organisation that is equipped to survive and thrive in the NHS of the future.
We believe in continuity of care and the people you already know will be part of the new surgery. There will also be the choice for you to see clinicians from across a larger team.
The planned merger will take place in early October 2024. Before the merger date East and Park Parade Surgeries will be working hard to align their systems so that we have a smooth transition.
We hope you will wish to remain registered with our new GP surgery. You do not need to do anything; your current registration will transfer to the new surgery. If you wish to change your GP surgery, you should explore your choices based on your address and the catchment areas of the local surgeries.
We are working together with our local health authority, Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, on our merger.
We would like to hear your views about our plans and invite you to email or write with any questions and ideas to:
- Email: mowbraysquare.ppg@nhs.net
- Post: East Parade Surgery,
Mowbray Square Medical,
Harrogate,
HG1 5AR
We are yet to choose a name for the new surgery and would love to hear your ideas! Please use the contact details above to submit your suggestions.
We will regularly keep you informed. Please see our websites for updates.
Our vision is to build on the strengths of our hardworking, dedicated teams to continue to care for you and your family.
Best wishes from
