Welcome to the latest of our weekly newsletters. We regard it as a priority that all our patients are kept fully informed of developments at Adlington and Croston Medical Centres, Buckshaw Surgery, our new Chorley surgery on Eaves Lane and our surgery sites at Lostock Hall. We hope these regular updates will continue to prove useful.

Covid Spring Booster Vaccinations
Our new Covid vaccination site on Wigan Road, Euxton is continuing to deliver a large number of Spring Booster jabs to eligible categories.
The site at the former out of hours clinic next door to Rowlands Pharmacy opposite Bay Horse pub is open from Wednesday to Friday from 9am-5pm, closed for lunch 1-2.
We are also continuing to run jab clinics at Buckshaw Surgery on Saturday and Sunday only with the same opening hours.
The clinics are open to anyone in an eligible category, which at present are the over 75s and those with immunosuppressed and certain other conditions, and you can easily pre-book your jab via the online National Booking Service.
You don’t have to be registered at our surgeries and we also accept walk-ins but please note pre-booked patients will be prioritised so you may have a short wait.
Our New Chorley Surgery
We are continuing to accept registrations for new patients at our recently opened Eaves Lane Surgery which is now in full operation.
If you wish to register, please call in at the site to complete one of our short forms or complete the online version on our website at www.nmhealthinnovations.co.uk and submit via the website.
If you have any queries with either method of registration, please call in at the surgery where our reception staff will be happy to help or contact them by phone on 01772 376600.
Ukraine and Homeless Appeals
We have noticed in recent weeks a fall in the number of items being left at out surgery sites for The Chorley Support for Ukraine Group and the Chorley Help the Homeless group.
Both groups have reminded us they are still desperately in need of donations as the conflict continues in Eastern Europe and also the number of homeless people in our own area grows.
If you can help, please drop off any toiletries, sanitary products, baby items, non-perishable foods, tins of pet food and also clean clothing at any of our surgeries during opening hours.
Please mark your bags of donated items accordingly if you have a preference as to which appeal you wish them to go to.
