Cool Re: Doctors appointments

In the late forties early fifties I lived at 148 Blackburn Road and my doctor, a Dr. Devlin lived and had his surgery at Myrtle House. Handy - because as a child I suffered a lot with tonsillitis until the tonsils were whipped out at Accrington Victoria.

My current doctor, AK Gupta, has moved (allegedly and temporarily whilst Springhill Surgery on Bolton Road is being re-furbished) his surgery to the Darwen medical centre, behind the baths/leisure centre. It’s been a few months now so I don’t think that he is going back.

However I have never had a problem getting an appointment to see him. In fact it was only the other day whilst attending the Warfarin clinic I enquired about the flu jab and was told if I was prepared to wait for the three patients before me I would get one there and then.

In general lansdave if you move outside your doctor’s catchments area you will have to get another doctor.
