Chandos Surgery CLOSED

Story from nhs.uk

"Chandos Surgery CLOSED"

About: Woodhouse Medical Practice

I had a text from the surgery to say a long term medical condition was overdue for review and I needed to arrange an appointment as matter of urgency. I rang up and was told they had shut the Chandos surgery ! I would have to travel to Woodhouse. Not a very good idea at this time! I can’t believe they have shut our local surgery at a time when you are not meant to travel. Why have local patients been abandoned by the surgery? A lot of the local patients are elderly and need a local surgery not one miles away. Are you wanting to stop offering a service in this area? If so we need to know not have this done by stealth!

Chandos Medical Centre is a branch surgery of Woodhouse Medical Practice and has been closed since lockdown in March as the small premises are unsuitable for socially distancing.

We can assure you our patients have not been abandoned, quite the opposite. As lockdown eases we are hoping to offer some services at Chandos but our main surgery will remain at Woodhouse Health Centre which is purpose built to ensure we can offer a full service to all our patients.
