Out of Hours

There is an out of hours service, covering evenings, weekends, and nights.  The new number for an out of hours problem is 0300 123 1144.

Cancelling your Appointment

If you are unable to attend an appointment with one of the doctors or nurses, please telephone or use the link at the bottom of this page to cancel your appointment.

Home Visits

Visits are for housebound patients.  Please phone before 10.00 a.m. as this allows the doctor to plan his work load. Children with a temperature can be safely brought to the surgery, and this way they can generally be seen much quicker than via a home visit.

Extended Hours

Please note that as of 3rd October 2011 we are having to suspend our early evening appointments due to staff shortages.  We apologise for any inconvenience. 

Smoking Cessation Clinic

We provide in-house smoking cessation support.  Please enquire at reception.

University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust is aware of problems with its outpatient appointment system.

 

A team, which includes clinicians, is working to establish the number and nature of appointments that may be affected. If delays are identified, individual patients will be contacted directly to make a new appointment. 

Should any patients have immediate concerns about their follow-up appointment they can call a 24 hour, seven days a week, dedicated phone line on 0845 608 0278.

 

                          

Welcome to Strawberry Gardens Medical Practice

Our doctors and primary health care team believe in providing a traditional service by retaining the ‘Small Practice’ feel and ethos. 


Strawberry Gardens Medical PracticeStrawberry Gardens doctors' surgery in Heysham provides the highest quality healthcare to patients in the Lancashire area. Our doctors, nurses and all our other staff are dedicated to offering a professional service and this surgery website will help us to keep all our patients up to date with news and information about our practice. We will keep it current with any developments or other details that we feel are relevant to you. . 

The practice is based on two sites, our branch site being situated within Morecambe Health Centre. We have been established there since 1977. In July 1996 we opened Strawberry Gardens Medical Practice. Both sites have car parking and disabled facilities and are within easy reach of local public transport.


RELOCATION TO NEW HEALTH CENTRE 2012

(PLEASE NOTE THE PRACTICE IS NOT CLOSING DOWN)

We are pleased to announce that we plan to move to new purpose built premises in Heysham in Summer 2012.  Currently the building is going according to plan and we will provide updates on progress during the year.

We are also looking to sell our existing premises which we believe would suit other healthcare purposes such as dentistry or alternative therapies and would welcome informal enquires to the Practice Manager on 01524 850900.

EMIS ACCESS

We have recently had an IT upgrade and understand this is preventing people booking appointments on line.  If you are having difficulty accessing on-line appointments please ask at reception for your password to be reset.
