Other Health Care Services

Primary care services that are not available at our practice will be provided by NHS Oldham. Telephone (0161) 622 6500.

Referral Gateway

Most referrals from the practice are first processed at the Referral Gateway.  Once you have been referred, you must wait a week (for them to receive our letter) and contact the gateway on 0161 627 7490.  They will then give you an appointment date or advise you of the next step.  Please note, sometimes, the gateway will reject a referral for some reason.  We are not responsible for these rejections and can only process the rejection or provide more information for the rejection to be reviewed.  We are not overly happy with this situation, but unfortunately it is what we have to try and contend with.  If you wish to complain about a rejection, please contact the gateway directly.
