19.03.2005 - Home Visits

We welcome requests for home visits from patients who are housebound or terminally ill. Please try and ring any requests in before 11am. Some requests for a visit may be dealy with over the phone by one of the doctors or you may be advised to attend the surgery and this will be arranged.

We recommend that children who are unwell are brought into the surgery for assessment, as this makes best use of the doctors time and allows for rapid assessment. If you feel your child is unwell, and there are no appointments available on that day, please ask the receptionist to discuss your concerns with the doctor.

16.07.2004 - Care at the Chemist

What is Care at the Chemist?
Care at the Chemist is a scheme that allows you to obtain medicines to treat certain illnesses from local pharmacies without having to go to the doctor first.

Who can use it?
Anyone currently registered with Long Lane Medical Centre.

Which illnesses can be treated?
Constipation or diarrhoea
Headache, earache, temperature
Teething / mouth ulcers
Bites and stings
Hay Fever
Conjunctivitis (Red Eye)
Contact dermatitis
Haemorrhoids
Indigestion, heart burn, tummy upset
Coughs, sore throat, blocked nose
Thrush
Head lice
Athletes foot
Threadworms
Cold sores

How does it work?
You can take part in Care at the Chemist in two ways. The practice can give you a referral form to take to the pharmacy. You can also go straight to the pharmacy. To join, you will need to show that you are registered with us. The pharmacist will give you a passport that can be used next time.

The pharmacist or his staff will ask you some questions and decide if you need medication, and which would be best for you. The pharmacist may decide that you need to see your doctor, or give other advice without supplying medicines.

If they think you need to see a doctor urgently, they will contact the practice to arrange it.

Can I still see my doctor?
Yes. Taking part in Care at the Pharmacy does not stop you seeing your doctor. By going to the pharmacy for your medication, it means the doctor can see patients with serious illnesses quicker.

Which chemists are part of the scheme?
Landford Pharmacy is currently the closest chemist to the surgery that is involved in the scheme. Landford Pharmacy is situated at 34 Landford Avenue, Liverpool, L9 6BR.

Please contact Long Lane Medical Centre for more details about this new service and any additional pharmacies not mentioned here that are involved in the scheme or go to the Care in the Chemist page.
