Bank holiday closure

We will be closed on Monday 25th August 2025 for the summer bank holiday. We will be back open to help you as normal on Tuesday 26th August 2025.

If you’re feeling unwell and need medical help, please contact NHS 111 by calling 111 on your telephone, or visiting 111.nhs.uk. In an emergency, always call 999.

If you have a repeat prescription and your medication is due over the bank holiday weekend, please make sure to request your prescription by 20th August 2025. Repeat prescriptions take 2 working days to process. If your prescription is not about to run out, please do not request until it is due.

Patient Participation Group

Would you like to have a say about the services provided at The Whitswood Practice? We would like to hear your views so we can find out how we can improve our service to you.

We have created a Primary Care Network (PCN) Patient Participation Group, where patients from The Robert Darbishire Practice, The Whitswood Practice and New Bank Health Centre will come together to discuss their surgery and its services. We aim to meet four times a year in person. The Patient Participation Group will also take part in regular surveys.

Join our Patient Participation Group

All registered patients are able to join our Patient Participation Group. People of all genders, ages, ethnicities, and those with health conditions and disabilities are encouraged to join.

Members should as far as possible, be representative of the surgery population.

If you are unable to complete the form online, please phone us on 0161 226 3620.

Many thanks for participating, we look forward to working with you.
