A NEW GP practice based at The Accrington Victoria Community Hospital will open in November.
The practice, commissioned by NHS East Lancashire, will provide a GP service for patients to register while also working alongside the Minor Injuries Unit already based at the hospital to provide a walk-in service for any patients with minor illnesses.
Called ‘The Accrington Victoria Health Access Centre’, the service will be open from 8am until 8.30 pm seven days a week starting on Sunday, November 1.
Residents in Hyndburn will be able to register with the new practice.
The walk in service, accessible via Minor Injuries Unit, is available to any patients both in and outside the area.
To contact the centre once it opens call 01254 770480.
