Primary care centre at Lytham
Developed by Primary Asset, the new primary care centre in North Lancashire is a distinctive three storey building that has re-housed the two existing GP practices in Lytham (Holland House Surgery and Fernbank Surgery). The facility brings together a number of community health services, whilst also providing a base for the school and district nursing team. Services provided onsite including: x-ray, pharmacy, a number of treatment rooms and a health port to accommodate visiting mobile services such as MRI scanning and mammography.
The new centre provides a more welcoming and up-to-date environment significantly improving patient access to both primary and secondary care, with outpatient services such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, health education, mental health services, family planning. One of the main benefits of the centre is that it allows some GPs to perform minor procedures in the surgery that might otherwise have meant a visit to hospital saving the local residents a trip to hospital.
