This place was opened with the view of containing Dentists, Doctors, and other medical professions…read moreso it could ease up on the strain that the Royal Oldham Hospital was taking. It even opened a walk-in-centre so you could visit here instead of A&E pending the seriousness of the situation. So while this is not my doctors, it is my partners and my daughters. You never seem to be able to ring up and get an appointment that day (even if you ring first thing in the morning). I won't name the doctor but we have felt at times that the doctor just wants you in and out and fobs you off with "its viral". The walk-in-centre is pot luck if its busy or not (i'm guessing like most walk-in-centres) but we have had nightmare times were we have had to wait over 3 hours to be seen and then the on duty nurse or doctor has missed stuff like ear infections and such. Then they closed down the walk-in-centre after about 10 months and had it open 8am-8pm and you had to then go to a "Go-to-Doc" (situated in the same building) were you had to ring up and make an appointment if it was out of hours and go through a telephone grilling just to see if it was worth you bringing yourself in. The Car Park is free to users of the centre but always seems to break down thus giving the shoppers of oldham free parking. A plus is that this is Oldham so there is security in the building so that does make you feel kinda safe.

There a 3 practices based here and as long as you can pick up the phone at 0830 in the morning you can get an appointment. My practice has 4 doctors and everyone of them are great. Ive been in with embarrassing issues and its great that you can have a laugh with your doctor about it. They talk to you as if they know you on a personal basis which always seems to ease you.

They have a website which you can use to order a repeat prescription or gather other information about the surgery. The doctors seem to be changing quite a bit at the moment since Dr Neville passed away. The nurses are very friendly & helpful.
