Happy New Year to all our patients 🎉🎉 New Year, new request from us for patients to join our Patient Participation Group. If you're not able to join face to face meetings, don't worry, we can look to set up a 'virtual' group, where patients can either e-mail suggestions or we can have on-line meetings. We just need your help and support to find ways in which we can improve the services we offer to our patients and feel that 'you', our patients, are the best people to help 🥰 If you are interested in joining or would like more information, please speak to a member of the reception team or e-mail: repeats.p81709@nhs.net
Thank you!

As a practice we are in the process of setting back up the patient participation group. As part of this group you'll be able to attend meetings and speak to members of our practice team about your experiences and provide ideas of how we could improve our service for patients and staff. For more information please get in touch with our reception team or e-mail:- repeats.p81709@nhs.net

🚐 The Mobile Cervical Screening Unit is coming to Blackburn!

📅 From 8th January onwards! Please see image below for further dates and locations.

It takes less than 10 minutes and having the test in the safe, comfortable and private space on board the Living Well bus, is a lot like having it in your GP practice, with female NHS staff.

Cervical screening has the potential to save lives – it tests for HPV (or human papillomavirus) which can cause cervical cancer, meaning treatment can be given before it can turn into cervical cancer.

No appointment is needed, just drop in.

✅ No need to travel far
✅ Friendly female staff
✅ Quick and confidential
💜 No judgment. Just care.
