Noticeboard

Oldham has a new COVID Assessment Hub

The COVID Assessment Hub is open 24/7 and located at the Integrated Care Centre (ICC) - New Radcliffe Street, Oldham OL1 1NL. The Hub has been created for people who have possible symptoms of coronavirus and are unwell, but do not need a 999 response.

The Hub allows us to provide telephone, video and face-to-face consultations and arrange GP home visits when required and appropriate. This lowers the risk to patients and staff as they will be able to be seen by primary care in a safe and dedicated environment.

Welcome to Greenbank Medical Practice

The Greenbank Medical practice is the result of The Radcliffe Medical practice, The Glodwick Medical practice and Addy practice merging together. View our profile here

With patients' needs at the heart of everything we do, our website has been designed to make it easy for you to gain instant access to the information you need. As well as specific practice details such as opening hours and how to register, you’ll find a wealth of useful pages covering a wide range of health issues along with links to other relevant medical organisations.

In line with recent government recommendations, from Monday 18th May 2020 we expect all patients entering our building to wear a face covering. It should be cotton ideally.

This link explains the science behind our decision:

These coverings can be made from things you've already got at home, like an old T-shirt, or even a sports sock with just a few well-made snips with scissors and a little bit of sewing. But if you're not so confident in your creative abilities, there are plenty of companies online that can be found with a quick Google search.

Children under 2 are not expected to wear a face covering.

Younger children (primary) who cannot manage a mask are also not expected to wear one

Our entire practice team will be doing the same.

Face coverings protect *other people* from droplets that you may release into the air, they do not protect you unless everyone wears them.

In England, you must by law wear a face covering in the following settings:

Public Transport
Shops and Supermarkets as of 24 July 2020

Measures can be taken if people do not comply with this law

There is no requirement for a letter or certificate in relation to the exemption of wearing of face coverings. It should be sufficient for someone to declare that they are eligible for an exemption with the person questioning them. We will not be providing letters for face mask exemptions. Please see gov.uk website for more information
