🎄 A Christmas Message from Oldham Family Practice 🎄
(revised - due to a well spotted typo from our Practice Manager)
As the year comes to a close, we , Dr Wooton, Dr France, and the whole team at Oldham Family Practice , would like to thank you for your continued trust and for being part of our Oldham community.
Oldham is a place built on resilience, kindness, and looking out for one another, and it remains a privilege to care for you and your families.
Practice opening over the Christmas and New Year period
Our surgery will be closed on Bank Holidays:
📅 Thursday 25 December (Christmas Day)
📅 Friday 26 December (Boxing Day)
📅 Thursday 1 January (New Year’s Day)
We will be open as usual on all other weekdays.
We know that health needs do not stop during the festive period.
Please help us by using the right NHS service for your needs:
Call 999 or go to A&E immediately for life-threatening emergencies, such as chest pain, signs of stroke (face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty), severe breathing problems, collapse, or loss of consciousness.
NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day for urgent medical advice when the practice is closed and can direct you to the most appropriate local NHS service.
If you need urgent mental health support while the practice is closed, please contact NHS 111
If there is an immediate risk to life, please call 999 or go to A&E.
For confidential emotional support at any time, you can also contact Samaritans on 116 123, free and available 24/7.
If you are unsure which service to use, NHS 111 can help.
We wish you a peaceful Christmas and a healthy New Year, and we look forward to continuing to care for our Oldham community in the year ahead.
With warmest wishes,
Dr Julie Wooton, Dr France & the Team
