Years of underfunding and neglect has left general practice in crisis. The future of General Practice is at stake.

The following report written by our Local Medical Committee highlights serious concerns about the issues facing general practice.

You can help make a difference! Get involved by reading, sharing and talking to your local MPs about the contents of this report: https://nwlmcs.org/news/report-the-financial-challenge-facing-practices-in-lancashire-and-cumbria

If action and serious attention is not given to this pressing issue, there is a very real possibility of mass practice closures and patients finding that access to a GP will worsen significantly.

All you need to know and resources to access, to explain the symptoms of the menopause and the peri-menopause.

April 2023 – you are no longer required to wear a face mask when visiting the Medical Practice, unless this is your preference – excluding if you have acute respiratory symptoms or to see specific clinical staff. This requirement would be discussed with you if a face to face appointment was being arranged.

For the safety of the staff team, if you do have acute respiratory symptoms, please do not visit the practice and contact us via alternative options. Thank you for your support and understanding.

June 2022 update – You must continue to wear face masks and follow social distancing measures in this practice.
Thank you for keeping our staff and other patients safe from infectious diseases.

From the 19th July we will continue with current Health and Safety measures at the Practice. Please ensure you are aware of requirements whilst visiting the practice to protect both staff and patients. Thank you

New Year, New You.
