The practice has made the decision to turn off online booking facilities temporarily, this is so we can monitor patients who book appointments given the spread of the Corona Virus. The practice will be open as normal to make appointments over the phone 📞

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them

Thank you to all the patients and friends of the practice who have knitted / crocheted blankets following the call for help from Wigan ICU for their end of life patients. Two huge bags were delivered last weekend and gratefully received! 💝

@CriticalCareWWL @chrislewsteve That is absolutely fine. Let me know if you need a continuous supply. It may slow down as people return to work but lots have been done up to now.

@BrookmillMed @chrislewsteve This is wonderful thank you! If you could phone ICU before you plan to deliver on 822591/822380 and we can arrange for someone to meet you outside the hospital main entrance? Would this be ok?

Can anyone help? Need knitted or crochet bereavement blankets for Wigan adult intensive care. They don’t have to be big it’s something we give to our patients at the end of their lives to put on top of the hospital blanket XXX 💝💝

@CriticalCareWWL @chrislewsteve Hi, we have quite a collection of blankets now. Just need to arrange to get them to you. Let me know what is best, I can get them dropped off over the weekend potentially?

@BrookmillMed @chrislewsteve We in ICU can arrange to take delivery of them. Or we could possibly arrange collection from yourselves? Thank you.

@loubyh76 Hi, from the screenshot it looks genuine, but here is a link from the NHS web page on these invites, and what to do if you are unsure if they are genuine. nhs.uk/conditions/cor…

@BrookmillMed can you confirm if this is a legitimate web address? With the scams going around I just want to make sure it’s ok before I click the link...thank you
