Old Forge Surgery

Old Forge Surgery

We are confident that our website will provide clear and concise help and give our patients the information they require in an easy and convenient format. It has been designed with the patient’s needs at the forefront of everything, from checking surgery times to letting us know what you think of us.

Nut Free Practice

The practice has introduced a ‘Nut Free Practice’ policy. This is to prevent the risk of patients or staff suffering from an allergic reaction to nuts.

We would be grateful if patients could avoid eating nuts prior to visiting the practice and to washing their hands if they have recently eaten nuts before attending the surgery. Please do not bring nuts into the practice.

Pharmacy2U (Private Organisation)

We understand that a Private Organisation, called Pharmacy2U, may have sent a bulk marketing leaflet to the homes within our local community.

Your Practice dispensary provides you with a personal NHS dispensing service within the convenience of your GP Practice. We are regulated by the Care Quality Commission and we are pleased to report we have been awarded a Good rating in all areas inspected.

In using your Practices dispensary, you are supporting your Practice financially, helping us to reinvest into the Practice in areas such as facilities, services and training. It helps us ensure that your GP Practice is sustainable for the future.

We actively and openly support your rights to choose freely where you have your prescription dispensed and for this reason, hope the above information will support you in making your choice.

If there is any further information you would like, or anything you would like to discuss, please do just ask one of our team who will be happy to help.
