Opening Times

Our opening times are as shown below:

If it's difficult for you to get to the surgery during these times we now offer our patients the chance to book with the Western Cheshire Extended Hours Service, which offers routine appointments out of normal surgery hours.

GP Extended Hours Service

All patients registered with GPs in Western Cheshire now have the opportunity to book a routine appointment outside of the usual GP practice opening hours. This is particularly suitable for patients who work outside of the area or who have other commitments that prevent them from booking a routine appointment during normal surgery hours. Appointments won't be with your own GP, but WILL be with a suitably qualified health professional such as a doctor or practice nurse.

Appointments are available Monday to Friday, 6.30pm to 8.00pm and on Saturdays from 10am to 12noon at St Martin's Clinic, Chester and Ellesmere Port Hospital.

Appointments can be booked, up to two weeks in advance, by ringing 01244 385422 between 8am and 6pm, Monday to Friday. Alternatively, visit www.wcheshirepct.nhs.uk.

General Staff Training

We firmly believe that all our staff need to be well trained and to keep up to date with ongoing changes in the day to day work. Park Medical Centre, like other practices in the Chester area, closes for one afternoon a month, in order that staff training can be undertaken.

If you should need urgent medical attention during these hours, please telephone the Out of Hours Service on 01244 385300

The practice is currently scheduled to be closed, for training, between 12.00noon and 5.00pm on the following dates:

GP OUT OF HOURS SERVICE

If you require urgent medical advice when the surgery is closed (overnight, at weekends or during Bank Holidays) you can get advice from, or a consultation with, the Western Cheshire Out of Hours service.

You may be given telephone advice, invited to attend one of the treatment centres operated by the service, or (if you are not well enough to attend a centre) you may be given a home visit.

NHS Direct

Please do not ask to see a doctor out of hours unless you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

Call 999 in an emergency. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.
