Team GMP spreading a little Christmas cheer today 🎄

Christmas & New Year Opening times

Garstang Medical Practice will be open as usual throughout the Christmas/New Year period apart from the Bank Holidays. We will be closed Thursday 25th December, Friday 26th December, and Thursday 1st January. If you need medical assistance or advice outside of our opening hours, please call the NHS 111 service.

The NHS 111 service is staffed by a team of fully trained advisers, supported by experienced nurses and paramedics. They will ask questions to assess your symptoms, then give you the healthcare advice you need or direct you to the local service that can help you best. That could be A&E, an out-of-hours doctor, an urgent care centre or a walk-in centre, a community nurse, an emergency dentist, or a late-opening chemist.

Private Prescriptions

If you use a private healthcare provider and you are issued with a prescription, please note this will be a chargeable private prescription and will not be able to be converted into an NHS prescription. Private prescription charges are based on the cost of the medication required, rather than a standard charge.

🌟 Carers Rights Day 2025 🌟

Today we’ll be standing with carers across the UK to highlight the rights of the 5.8 million unpaid carers who support loved ones every day. This year’s theme is:

👉 “Know your rights, use your rights.”

Every day, around 12,000 people become unpaid carers for a partner, family member or friend. Many don’t see themselves as carers and may be unaware of the rights, support, and benefits available to them.

At Lancashire Carers Service, we believe no carer should miss out on support designed to reduce the pressures of caring. Whether you:
💙 Care 24/7 or balance caring with work and family life
💙 Are new to caring or have been providing care for many years
💙 Live in any part of Lancashire

…you deserve to know your rights and feel confident in using them.

✨ This Carers Rights Day, help us spread the word. Together, we can ensure carers across Lancashire are recognised, supported, and empowered.
