Welcome to Oswald Medical Centre, providing primary care for Accrington and surrounding areas. We hope you take your time to browse our website where you will find lots of useful information about the surgery and the services we offer. Our Practice is spread over 3 separate sites and patients can access services from any site depending on their needs.
How likely are you to recommend our GP practice to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment? Our new Accrington Branch is now open. Total triage still applies but you can pop in to drop off prescription requests or if you have a confirmed appointment.

Services
Many patients find that having access to online services helps provide a quick and convenient way of managing their healthcare.
As a practice we encourage all suitable patients to make full use of the apps where possible rather than telephoning the surgery to help keep our lines free for those who need to speak with us urgently.
Manage the way we share your information with other NHS organisations - National Data Opt Out.
It's important that patients bear a few things in mind when accessing online services.

Use our smart telephone system to cancel appointments if they are no longer needed (all you need is a telephone with a key pad - this includes home landline telephones).
Almost all appointments with the Healthcare Assistants and Nurses are face to face (the exception is a telephone follow up where the nurses wishes to speak with you following your review, test or other procedure).
Some patients are given automatic face to face appointments with the GP / ANP at the point of speaking with our Care Navigators.
