Other Information

Reception Triage And Advanced Access

Following government guidelines we operate a receptionist triage system which allows the receptionist, after asking a few simple questions, to direct you to the most appropriate health care professional for your problem. This, in turn, frees up doctors' appointments and allows us to operate Advanced Access, ie a 10-minute appointment with a doctor of your choice, usually within 48 hours.

Non-NHS Examinations

The doctors are happy to carry out medicals, eg insurance and driving licence, by appointment outside surgery hours. Please telephone the surgery for an appointment. These services are outside the scope of the NHS and may therefore be chargeable.  Please ask the receptionist for the current fee when booking your appointment.

Primary Care Trust

The practice is included in the current governing arrangements for the NHS and is part of the North Lancashire Teaching Primary Care Trust (PCT) whose HQ is at Moor Lane Mills, Moor Lane, Lancaster LA1 1QD, telephone 01524 519333. There is a local office at Derby Road, Wesham PR4 3AL. Telephone 01253 306305.
