Important information regarding Blood Tests (August 2021)

There is a national shortage of blood bottles, which is expected to last until at least 17th September 2021. This is affecting ALL heathcare providers.

We have therefore been told by the NHS to postpone all non-urgent blood tests.....

We will:

  • Review all of the blood tests to determine those that can safely be delayed
  • Advise you if we feel that you urgently require having blood taken to assist your treatment
  • Add your name to a waiting list to rearrange your blood test
  • Advise you when the situation changes.

We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience, this is something that is completly out of our control.

Thank you for your cooperation

SURGERY UPDATE effective from 19th July 2021

We continue to do as much as possible to keep patients safe. 

ON THE 19TH JULY  NOTHING WILL CHANGE AT THE SURGERY. 

Where possible we will deal with your problem on the telephone.

PATIENTS WILL CONTINUE TO WEAR FACE MASKS AT FACE TO FACE APPOINTMENTS, SOCIALLY DISTANCE AND USE HAND SANITISER.

Staff will wear PPE. Many patients who are coming to us are sick or high risk, we must maintain standards to keep everyone safe. We feel it would be wrong to stop measures that protect you.

Unsworth Group Practice never closed during the pandemic and we need your cooperation to continue to work safely.

Thank you,

The Partners

The abuse must stop

In Westhoughton we care about our community and this includes our staff.

Both Unsworth Group Practice and Stablefold surgery will not accept abusive behaviour towards our reception staff.

We understand our phones are busy and it’s tough to get through.

We understand the challenges with increased demand for consultations (and we are doing our best to look at solutions).

We understand it can be scary if you or a loved one are unwell and you want to see a clinician.

However, these reasons do not justify unacceptable behaviour.

We are all people too.

Please help us to help you.
