Dear Patients

All GP Practices in East Lancashire are closed on Tuesday 3rd February 2026 from 1.00 pm - 6.30 pm for Protected Learning Time. This enables practices to provide dedicated training to their staff and to discuss and plan ways that will allow them to improve services, meet demand and support the wellbeing of staff.

If you feel your need is urgent and cannot wait until the following day provisions have been made for urgent triage, please call 111.

For all life-threatening medical emergencies during this time call 999.

For all routine requests for results, appointments, prescriptions, and general queries please contact the practice on Wednesday 4th February 2026.

The pathology lab at East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust is currently facing severe disruptions, this is resulting in some samples being delayed, or not processed at all. It may mean that we have to repeat your test.

The trust has taken steps to address this issue and have apologised for the inconvenience caused.

Please bear with us.
