Welcome to the Church Lane Practice

Welcome to the Church Lane Practice. We are a large modern surgery with a wide range of expertise and services but we take particular pride in our friendly, accessible, patient-orientated approach.

Our main surgery is on Church Lane but we also have a satellite surgery (Deas Home) located on the Nelson Hospital site.

The Church Lane Practice is open between 8am and 6.30pm, Monday to Friday, and our reception staff are available throughout our opening hours either in person at reception or through our newly updated telephone system.

The main surgery and the Deas Home have been designed with the disabled in mind. The surgery entrance, consulting rooms and disabled toilet are suitable for people in wheelchairs.

The Practice Area

You can now book appointments online. You will need to register with Emis Access to use this facility. You will need to be given a letter containing your unique log-in details in order to register. You will need to obtain this from reception so that we can verify your identity.

Once you have your log-in details, you can go to the Emis Access website and book an appointment online or request a repeat prescription from the list available. Please note, only prescriptions that are listed in your record as being repeat items will be shown on the website.

We aim to provide:

An appointment with a GP within 48 hours.

The ability to book appointments more than 2 days ahead.

The option to see a specific GP (may be more than 48 hours).

The ability for you to get through easily on the phone.

We want to provide easy access to our service.

Please tell us if we do not achieve this, email enquiries.churchlanesurgery@nhs.net, speak to a receptionist or fill in a feedback form (available in the waiting room).

We now offer some pre-bookable early morning appointments starting at 7.30am on Tuesday to Thursday mornings and pre-bookable evening appointments at our Deas Home clinic between 6.30 and 8pm on Monday to Thursday evenings.

We also open from 9am until 12 midday on Saturdays and offer bookable appointments for this time. Please note that this is not a walk-in clinic.

We have an automated blood pressure machine in the corridor beyond the waiting room. Pop in anytime for a blood pressure check: it may save you making an unnecessary appointment.
