You may be offered an appointment with a Paramedic.
Our Paramedics address a variety of same-day urgent conditions, including respiratory and cardiac issues, skin infections, and musculoskeletal problems. They visit housebound patients or those too unwell to make it to their surgery.
East Warrington PCN has 2 paramedics that work across the network , seeing patients from Birchwood Medical Centre, Fearnhead Medical Centre and Padgate Medical Centre. Because of this , your appointment location may be at one of the neighbouring practices instead of your registered GP surgery.
Appointments can be at the following locations :
Fearnhead Cross Medical Centre – Free Car Park at the front of the surgery, shared with the row of shops.
Longford Street Surgery – Free Car Park opposite the Surgery building for patients.
Padgate Medical Centre – Free Car Park at the side of the Medical Centre
Woolston surgery – Attached to the side of ‘Woolston Neighbourhood Hub’. Free parking is available at the hub.
If you have a paramedic appointment booked, please check the location prior to your appointment time to ensure you are in the correct place.
The below link explains the service in detail and there is a video which explains why you might be seeing our Paramedic .
