Services
Lancaster Medical Practice offers a range of services and clinics to ensure we meet your healthcare needs.
Our clinical staff have been put into teams to support this. Clinical Teams will reflect our local population and will work together, in a particular geographic area and within specific LMP sites.
The services we offer are:
GPs
There are 4 teams of GPs who will be supported by other clinical and non-clinical staff.
Every patient will be assigned to a named GP. If no appointments are available with your named GP you will first be offered an appointment with a GP in the same Clinical Team, however, you can be seen by any of the GPs within Lancaster Medical Practice. All the GPs provide General Medical Services. Details of GP services can be found in the leaflet – "Its Your Practice"
Some GPs also undertake minor surgery, i.e. removal of cysts or small lumps is available through arrangement with a doctor.
