Patients registered at our practice are able to access evening and weekend appointments via our new Increased Access Service.

These are available in limited numbers between 18:30 and 20:00 Monday to Friday and on Saturdays between 09:00 and 17:00 at Chorley Together PCN surgeries:

Dr Dawoud's Surgery, Station Surgery, Leyland Surgery, The Chorley Surgery, Whittle Surgery, Withnell Health Centre & Dr R B Baghdjian & Partner.

We offer a range of GP, Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Practice Nurse, Clinical Pharmacist and other Health Professional Appointments during these hours. These are a mix of Telephone & Face to Face.

The clinician carrying out your assessment and consultation will have full access to your GP record and will be able to complete all necessary investigations and prescription needs.

Please contact your GP practice as normal to check availability. Please also watch out for further updates on how you can book these directly via our online portal.

Coronavirus

Patient message's:

From Monday 19th July patients will no longer have to use the side window as reception at Dr Dawoud’s Surgery.  Please use the front door 🚪

We are asking that patients continue to wear face masks/face coverings 😷 as our clinicians will still be wearing them to keep both patients and staff safe. 

Please use the hand🤲 sanitiser provided when entering and leaving the building. 

Telephone & Video consultations will remain and the GP’s will continue to decide if they need to see you face to face, this is much more convenient for you and allows the GP to spend more time with you.


Thank you for your continued support as we get back to the new normal!

Surgery Information

Face-to-face appointments are available to all patients, but you will be asked to discuss your conditions over the phone or online first to assess what would be most appropriate for you


In addition to face-to-face consultations, many GP practices are offering consultations online or over the phone. This can be a convenient and flexible way to receive healthcare but if you would prefer to see a GP or healthcare professional in person then this will be arranged for you

Further information can be found at  www.gov.uk/coronavirus  here you will find information on returning to work after shielding etc.

Like the common cold, coronavirus infection usually occurs through close contact with a person with novel coronavirus via cough and sneezes or hand contact. A person can also be infected by touching contaminated surfaces if they do not wash their hands.

Testing of suspected coronavirus cases is carried out in line with strict regulations. This means that suspected cases are kept in isolation, away from public areas of the hospital and returned home also in isolation. Any equipment that come into contact with suspected cases are thoroughly cleaned as appropriate.

 

Specific guidance has also been shared with NHS staff to help safeguard them and others. Patients can be reassured that their safety is a top priority, and are encouraged to attend all appointments as usual.

 

Everyone is being reminded to follow Public Health England advice to:

  • Always carry tissues with you and use them to catch your cough or sneeze. Then bin the tissue, and wash your hands, or use a sanitiser gel.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after using public transport. Use a sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are unwell.
