It has been designed with the patient’s needs at the forefront of everything, from checking surgery times to letting us know what you think of us.

Serving You

Our dedicated team are here to treat those minor ailments that occur as well as providing specialist management of long-term conditions and clinics covering a wide range of healthcare issues. The technology also means you can now do a lot of things from the comfort of your home such as order a repeat prescription or cancel an appointment.

Partners in Care Hospital Services Information

Once registered, patients and healthcare professionals work together to ensure the most appropriate care is provided. This partnership philosophy extends even further and our active patient group exists to make sure that patient needs and the practice offering are always heading in the same direction. Organisations we directly work with and who work with us on our behalf include Ashtons (Pharmacists) & BBHealthcare (GP's who undertake visits and provide extended access in the evenings and weekends) and provide our COVID vaccinations and ACE Ltd who also provide covid vaccinations.

Hospital Services Information

The My Planned Care website supports people waiting for a hospital appointment, operation or treatment, and gives them advice and support while they wait. This includes access to average waiting times at their hospital and other useful advice and local services.
Patients can check the website of their allocated hospital for any information they may need before contacting their hospital or GP practice. Carers, friends, relatives and NHS teams can also see this information and, if needed, help guide people through the detail.
The site is easy-to-use and updated weekly with other advice and information on how to manage pain, keeping healthy, looking after their mental health, accessing financial help and other local support services. The site can also help people to prepare for their appointment or operation, including practical suggestions about how to manage symptoms and help prevent these from getting worse.

Access

If you have mobility difficulties you can enter the premises by use of the back door. Please use the bell for attention. However, depending on staffing levels, there may be a short delay in our responding to the doorbell. There is also a ramp at the front of the building which we hope will help those who do not wish to use the stairs. Also, if you prefer, you can ask for your consultation to be undertaken in a downstairs consulting room. Please advise the receptionist when you attend if you would like them to make this arrangement for you.
