We are constantly monitoring non attenders, and there has been an increase in the number of patients failing to attend. If you fail to attend without informing us we will write to you.

From August 2015, please remember to allow 48 hours for your prescription to be be prepared. Please note, that prescriptions ordered after 5.30pm on Fridays and over the weekend, will not be processed until Monday and will therefore be ready for collection on Wednesday. If you wish to collect your prescription from a chemist please ask the chemist to pick your prescription up from the surgery for you.

Update Regarding IT Issues - 24/05/22

Messages to patients/public

Dr Chris Brookes, Deputy CEO and Chief Medical Officer for the Northern Care Alliance NHS Trust said:

“We are still working hard to resolve the significant IT issues that have been affecting some of our digital systems at our hospitals at Oldham, Bury and Rochdale, as well as North Manchester General Hospital which is run by Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust.

“This means that our clinical teams are continuing to rely on our robust contingency plans for such critical incidents, including paper processes with limited access to online systems.

“Patient safety and maintaining essential services remains our priority. We are doing everything we can to fix the IT issues and To limit disruption to patients and our services. However, unfortunately some patients may experience some delays and additional waiting across some of our services such as outpatient appointments, diagnostic tests or scans. We apologise for this.

“Patients who have a hospital appointment whether for planned surgery or as an outpatient should continue to attend unless they are contacted directly by the Trust and told otherwise.

“For those who feel they need to attend our emergency department, we ask that you carefully consider if you really need A&E and your condition is an emergency and life threatening. Please contact 111 or seek advice from your local pharmacy or GP.”
