Buckshaw Flooding
There has been flooding on the main roundabout on Central Avenue in Buckshaw and also in several other areas close to our surgery this week.
A number of footpaths in the area near the surgery are also affected.
Please take care and also allow yourselves extra time to reach the surgery if you have an appointment or if you need to visit the surgery for any other reason as there is considerable traffic disruption in the area.
Annual Flu and Covid Jabs
Please note that our Covid vaccination hub at Jubilee House, Leyland has now closed and until further notice we are no longer administering Covid jabs.
If you still require a Covid jab, please call 119 where you will be advised of the nearest location which is still administering these jabs.
However, our annual flu vaccination programme is continuing for the time being and is now open to all patients.
If you want a free jab, you can book appointments at your own surgery by phone or online via Patient Access.
