Welcome to the latest of our weekly newsletters. We regard it as a priority that all our patients are kept fully informed of all 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 is now dispensing Spring Booster jabs to eligible categories.
The site at the former out of hours clinic on Wigan Road, Euxton, opposite the Bay Horse pub, is open from Wednesday to Friday each week from 9am-5pm, closed for lunch 1-2.
We are also running jab clinics at Buckshaw Surgery on Saturday and Sunday only, with the same opening hours, and these clinics are open as normal on all the forthcoming Bank Holiday weekends. Free parking available at both sites.
Please book your jab via the National Booking Service if possible.
The clinics are open to anyone in an eligible category and you don’t have to be registered at our surgeries. Walk-ins are accepted but please note pre-booked patients will be prioritised.

Our New Chorley Surgery
We are delighted to advise that our new Eaves Lane Surgery is now up and running.
All patients who were registered at our old Eaves Lane site will be automatically registered at the new site and do not need to do anything further.
We are also accepting new patient registrations and if you wish to register, please call in at the site to complete a registration form or complete the online version on our website.
Blood Clinic Update
Please note the weekly Tuesday walk in blood clinic at Buckshaw surgery now runs from 9am-10.30am and not 8am-10.30am as was previously the case.
To use the service, please call in and register at our reception desk where you will be given a time slot. These slots are strictly limited and are filled on a first come first served basis.
Please note the service is for Buckshaw patients only and all patients MUST bring their blood form with them to the appointment. Also the clinic is for bloods our clinicians have requested and not for hospital requests.
We would also like to advise that pre-bookable blood clinics are now being held at ALL our surgery sites. Please call our reception team for opening dates and times and to book a slot.
