The Lakeside Practice

The Lakeside Practice We are a local GP practice in the heart of Askern, Doncaster. Here at The Lakeside Practice, we care for a community of over 9100 patients.

We are a practice of five GP partners and two salaried GPs, assisted by an Advanced Nurse Practitioner, three Practice Nurses, two Health Care Assistants and a Phlebotomist. In practice we also have Physiotherapists, a Dietician, a mental Health Practitioner and a number of clinical Pharmacists. In addition, we currently have four GP Registrars working with us. From time to time we employ locums to cover staff absences. The team is supported by a dedicated Reception and Admin team who are able to help you find the most appropriate appointment and sort out any administrative issues you may have such as sick notes or checking on hospital referral. The surgery has full disabled access and facilities.

💙 Lung Cancer Screening is Back in Doncaster! 💙

We’re pleased to share that the Lung Cancer Screening (LCS) Programme has returned to Doncaster, and eligible patients will soon be receiving their invitation letters.

LCS helps to find lung cancer early, when treatment options - including curative treatment - are more effective. It’s the biggest programme in NHS history aimed at improving early lung cancer diagnosis, and its success means it’s now being rolled out across the country as a national screening programme.

📍 Scanning location: Adwick Leisure Centre

If you or someone you know receives an invite letter, please be reassured it’s genuine - this is not a scam. Attending your screening appointment is very important, even if you feel well and have no symptoms.

Early detection saves lives. 💙
Please do encourage family, friends, and patients to take up their Lung Cancer Screening invite.
