More Information On The Practice

Lytham Road Health Centre serves the area of Blackpool from Bloomfield Road in the north, Park Road to the east, Squires Gate Lane in the south and ending at the Promenade in the west.

Lytham Road Health Centre is a PMS (Personal Medical Services) practice.

Our team includes three full-time GPs, two part-time salaried GPs, a full-time nurse practitioner, a part-time practice nurse, a primary care health care assistant, our treatment room team of nurses, a district nursing team, health visitors, practice manager, reception staff, data input clerk and practice secretary.

We offer a full general practice service.

Our practice nurses offer specialist clinics for asthma, diabetes and chronic diseases as well as triage facilities.
Our health care assistant sees all new patients for well person checks and blood pressure monitoring and lifestyle checks.
The community midwife runs antenatal clinics for pregnant women.

Health visitors monitor babies and children, attending to all vaccination needs and are involved in the care of the elderly.
Our GPs offer minor surgery.

The treatment room nursing team treat all minor injuries, attend to dressings, offer ear syringing and holiday vaccinations. (An appointment is sometimes necessary for some types of treatment. If you think you may need an appointment please ring for advice on 01253 336773.)

At Lytham Road Health Centre we aim to treat all our patients promptly, courteously and in complete confidence.
Lytham Road Health Centre sometimes has to consent to audit by Blackpool Primary Care Trust. This means doctors from outside our practice may need access to medical or computer records of our patients. Medical records may be used for educational purposes. Because of this, we ask patients registering with us to sign a consent form giving permission for their records to be used in this way. This information is completely confidential and does not leave the practice.

This booklet is for both existing patients and those considering registering with us. It tells you about our services, how to access them and some general information about how our practice operates.

If you live in our practice area and would like to register with us, please complete one of our registration forms that are available from reception or, if available, bring your current medical card.

On the form, you will be able to say which practitioner you would prefer to see. However, you will be registering with the practice rather than an individual GP.

You will be given an appointment with one of our nurses for a new patient medical check and a leaflet on the practice prescribing policies, which you will be asked to sign.
