Anyone requiring support or advice should contact the PALS service via the free phone number: 0800 218 2333 or email micsu.customercarelancashire@nhs.net

Booking Appointments

The online booking appointment system has been temporarily suspended at the surgery and we ask all patients to use either eConsult or to ring the practice to book an appointment. This will ensure that we are able to fully assess risk before appointments are booked at the surgery.

As you are aware the practice uses eConsult and patients are advised to seek advice via this service. Please visit the services section on our website for further information and access to the eConsult service

Face Mask Exemptions

The Government guidance suggests there is no requirement for evidence for exemption.  It should be sufficient for someone to declare that they are eligible for an exemption direct with the person questioning them (eg bus driver, shop staff).

Practices are therefore not required to provide letters of support for those who fall under the list of exemptions, or to those who do not fall under the list of exemptions.

Murdishaw Health Centre is sorry that we cannot help with requests.

Staying Active during lockdown has been updated with some important information for older adults.

Reducing the risk of falling provides a booklet from our Health Improvement team and a link within this booklet to some simple exercises to help prevent falls.

Please speak to a Care Navigator if you wish to register (you must provide photographic ID to be able to register for this service)

Protected Learning Time

Protected Learning Time is cancelled until further notice.

The reason for the closure is so that the practice staff and Clinicians can have protected time to undertake training. Should you require medical assistance during the times when we are closed please dial the surgery number as normal and you will be redirected to the NHS 111 service who will be able to assist you further.

GP Earnings

All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g. average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice. The average pay for GPs working in Murdishaw Health Centre in the last financial year was £56,412 before tax and National Insurance.

This is for 3 full time GPs & 2 part time GP Locums who worked in the practice for more than six months.
