Smoking cessation
The practice actively supports and encourages all patients to stop smoking.
If you would like to quit smoking you can refer yourself to the ‘Be Well’ service or book an appointment with the practice nurse/healthcare assistant at reception.
Practice nurses run appointments to help you stop smoking, and the majority of nicotine replacement products are available on prescription.
Please give stopping smoking some serious consideration.

- Asthma
- Heart and kidney disease
These conditions need regular reviews at least once a year. If you have a long term condition, you will receive regular invites to the practice for reviews.
Substance misuse problems
Drug service
The practice recognises that the use of illegal drugs is common – this can lead to levels of use which can result in problems.
The practice works closely with Manchester Drug Service to provide help and treatment for a range of drug problems. We provide a national enhanced service for drug misuse. This includes assessment and substitute prescribing for heroin dependency.
To access this service, please make an appointment with a GP.
Alcohol service
The practice encourages all patients to drink within weekly recommended safe limits.
We also recognise some patients regularly consume above these recommended limits, which can be damaging to health and sometimes results in dependency.
The practice works closely with practitioners from the community alcohol team – help with all types of alcohol problems is available.
Please make an appointment with a GP for further advice.
Shared care clinic
The practice offers a shared care service in partnership with Change Grow Live (CGL) for people experiencing drug misuse issues. We have a CGL worker based at the practice Monday to Friday.
Please speak to one of the GPs if you would like to access this service.
Home visits
Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible. In this respect, if you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 10am.
Your doctor will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed.
Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule house calls.
