Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible. In this respect, if you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 10:30.

You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will contact your prior to the visit and decide the urgently a visit is needed. Home visits should not be requested due to lack of transport to attend the surgery. 

Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule house calls

Northern Care Alliance launches a two-hour urgent community response service in Oldham

NCA 2 hrs response team – Patients can contact the service themselves by calling 0161 770 6771 or they ask any health or social care professional such as their GP, NHS111, care home or home care provider to refer them to the service.

The practice has the policy of using a chaperone during all intimate examinations. You have the right to ask for a chaperone at any time if the doctor wishes to examine you.

In a number of cases it might be worth considering an appointment with a practice nurse rather than a doctor. Practice nurses are qualified to deal with many conditions and you may be seen more quickly.

We have a texting service which allows you to receive confirmation and reminders about your appointments.

To have this service you will need to register by completing a consent form.

Please remember to update your contact details with us when you change address, telephone numbers and email address.

We frequently have medical students attached to the practice who sit in on the consultation with your GP.

If you wish to see your doctor alone please tell the doctor or receptionist and the student will be asked to leave.
