Why we are different
- We operate the accurx triage system
- We will not refuse to take you as a patient of the practice because you have complex medical conditions, or because of your age.
- We operate a telephone triage system.
- We are 4 Surgeries working as one practice.
- We are one group of clinicians that operate across Skelmersdale, Ormskirk, Banks and surrounding areas.
- All the Staff rotate across 4 sites. This means that no site is run as an isolated “branch” this allows for better governance and cover in case of sickness / leave.
- We are a training practice – this means that we have been chosen on the basis of high standard of note keeping and clinical quality to train doctors to become General Practitioners.
- We have a dedicated prescribing centre and dedicated staff to monitor prescriptions.
