The Over Wyre Medical Centre

Our main surgery at Wilkinson Way, Preesall is open weekdays from 7.45am to 6.30pm. Surgeries are available mornings, afternoons and early evenings.

Hambleton branch surgery is open each weekday morning; the opening hours are varied, but core time is 9.00 to 10.00am. The branch surgery, on Kiln Lane, is also normally open on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.

Appointments for both surgeries can be made by telephoning 810722, or enquiring in person at either surgery.

Out-Of-Hours Calls

Our practice is a member of FCMS (Fylde Coast Medical Services) Ltd, a GP co-operative which provides an out-of-hours service for genuine emergencies after 6.30pm and at weekdays and bank holidays.

For urgent attention out of hours, telephone 0300 123 1144. All cases will be triaged. The urgent care service is based at the Victoria Hospital, Blackpool and is staffed in rota by local GPs. Urgent cases fit to travel will be seen there or, if appropriate, at the same day Health Centre. If the doctor decides, on medical grounds, that a home visit is necessary, this will be arranged.

Another option is to call the NHS Direct telephone helpline on 0845 4647 or visit www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk

DISABLED ACCESS

The Over Wyre Medical Centre at Preesall is a single storey, purpose-built building with ramp access for the disabled. There is also a toilet facility for those patients using wheelchairs. If access proves difficult to any of our disabled patients we would be happy to consider any suggestions for improvement.
