GP Consultations
Our qualified GPs provide comprehensive medical consultations covering acute illnesses, chronic condition management, and preventative healthcare. Patients can access face-to-face, telephone, or video appointments through our Total Triage system, ensuring appropriate care matching clinical needs. All consultations maintain strict confidentiality and continuity of care through our named GP accountability framework.
Prescription Services
We offer efficient prescription ordering through digital platforms and traditional methods, with electronic repeat dispensing available for eligible patients. Our system ensures medication safety through regular reviews and provides comprehensive guidance about prescribed treatments. Patients receive clear instructions about medication usage, side effects, and proper storage through both digital resources and professional consultations.
Health Reviews
Specialist health reviews address chronic conditions like asthma, COPD, hypertension, and diabetes, with dedicated 30-minute appointments for comprehensive assessment. Our practice nurses conduct cervical cytology screenings and contraceptive reviews while promoting preventative healthcare through lifestyle advice and early detection initiatives that align with NHS health promotion campaigns.
Vaccinations
We administer essential vaccinations including annual flu jabs for eligible patients, childhood immunisations, and travel vaccines. Our autumn booster programme follows NHS guidelines for at-risk groups, with clear documentation and follow-up provided. The practice maintains strict cold-chain storage protocols and provides post-vaccination advice through both written materials and professional consultation.
Extended Hours Clinics
Evening and weekend appointments provide flexible access to GPs and nurses across multiple locations, including Blackpool, Fleetwood, and Garstang. These pre-bookable appointments address routine healthcare needs outside standard hours, with seamless integration to patients' regular medical records. The service operates through collaborative arrangements with Fylde Coast NHS providers while maintaining continuity of care principles.

Corona virus was the best excuse for doctors to avoid patients. Its impossible to get an appointment. Last time i did i never saw a doctor it was phone only and they didnt solve the problem and were not interested in helping. They need to go back to how it was before the virus, they were alright then and doctors actually cared.

Friendly helpful reception staff, and good doctors. No complaints. Unfortunately there is a fairly long wait for telephone consultations. I have had to wait almost 3 weeks.
Is this due to covid? The lack of doctors?Simply too great a demand for gp services . It's too easy to blame the surgeries when there are obviously pressures outside of their control

I'm very unhappy with how I've been treated. My access to online services were terminated because I "ordered my medication the wrong way". So I, someone with extreme anxiety and depression, now has to call up every month (if I have credit on my phone), despite my anxiety making it very difficult for me, for essential medication, because ONE TIME I ordered it by filling in a request on an NHS APPROVED pharmacy delivery website. I placed an order for MY medication with the pharmacy that would be handling it, i didn't share sensitive information with a third party. This is a completely unacceptable
