Medical Centre ?

damian9712 · 14-11-2007, 20:10

Hi , does anyone know anything about the medical centres that are opening in accrington (blackburn road and the one next to the bridge pub in the centre).
I was told that they will have NHS dental places and was wondering if anyone knew maybe when it was opening , or if there is a waiting list
to applie to.

Ta v much

The Accrington Pals one definateley has a dentalplace because it's a separate building at the back. Aren't they due to open this month ?

I drive past both of them everyday, it looks as though they are putting the finishing touches to them, so I would be expecting them to open soon.

Think the one on Paradise Street is December

They do say there'll be a dental surgery but did they actually say there was going to be a dentist in it? I was under the impression it was NHS dental personnel rather than premises that we were short of.

I read that the emergency service is being moved there from Accy Vic.
I had to use that a few months ago and asked about getting onto their regular practice list (Margaret P told me she was on it), but I was told that I had to join the waiting list like for any other NHS dentist.

Anybody who wants a NHS dentist there is one near Morrisons that haven't got a waiting list.

I am on the list now (since June) - hoping to be allocated one in Ossy within next six months. I have only 7 real teeth left now

so I stopped paying for Denplan and am keeping fingers crossed for no more abcesses before then.
Extractions at the emergency service cost the same as one month's Denplan cover (about £16)

Just go into any doctor and ask if they are taking new patients on.
