The Practice offers Primary Care services to registered patients living within the Oldham Area, the practice is based at John Street, Oldham. Services are available between Monday and Saturday (see above for surgery times).
Home Visits
If you are unable to attend the Practice and need a home visit, please contact reception on 0161 785 7030. Home visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability. If possible please try to telephone before 10am. A doctor or nurse may phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse, or indeed arrange going to hospital. Please note we are always able to examine patients better and can do more tests in the practice. Please try to make it to the practice if you can.
What if the Practice is closed?
If you need advice or treatment outside of the hours listed in the table below please call the surgery and you will automatically be redirected to the out of hours service.
Alternatively you can call GO To DOC directly on 0161 336 3252. A call handler will answer your call, and take a few details. The call handler will then either:
Arrange for you to speak to a doctor or nurse, or
Invite you to attend a treatment centre and be seen by the doctor, or
arrange a home visit if you are too ill to visit the centre.
