What can I use Accurx for?

Anything non-urgent, including:

• Request fit/sick notes
• Request appointments
• Medication and prescription queries
• Health advice
• Cancel or amend appointments
• Update your contact details

We aim to respond to your online consultation during our opening hours. However, this does not mean that the practice will see or treat you on the same or next day. We will advise you on how your issue will be managed by the practice. This may include arranging an appointment for another day or signposting you to a more appropriate service, such as Pharmacy First. NHS 111 is not considered an appropriate alternative service during core hours.

We would like to invite you to use The NHS App.  This allows you to access a range of NHS services.  Here is a video which explains how the NHS app works.  At this surgery you can use the NHS app to:

• order repeat medication
• nominate a pharmacy
• view medical records

The Village Medical Centre in Littleborough was rated ‘good’ by CQC for its skilled and efficient staff and effective services.

The watchdog was particularly impressed by the surgery’s screening programmes, which performed better than the Englad average for breast and bowel cancer, and cancer awareness events. The practice also opened between 7am and 8am so women could attend a cervical smear test outside working hours, the inspectors noted.

Overall, they witnessed a ‘clean, safe, and well-staffed practice’ where patients were treated with kindness and compassion. Patients described their care as ‘just fantastic’.
