Queen Square Medical Practice Online

The doctors and staff at the Queen Square Medical Practice in Lancaster are proud to offer the highest standard of patient-centred healthcare. We run many clinics for the management of chronic diseases such as asthma and diabetes and offer a wide variety of other medical services including antenatal and postnatal care, minor surgery, childhood vaccinations and well-person check-ups.

IMPORTANT FORTHCOMING CHANGES

Dr Elliott is retiring!

At the end of August Dr Elliott is retiring. This will see the end of a career spanning over thirty years at Queen Square. We will be very sad to see him leave, as we are sure many of his patients will be. Please bear this in mind and we would like to suggest that his patients start to consider seeing one of our other doctors within the Practice.

Dr Sidhu is stepping down!

Also at the end of August, Dr Sidhu is stepping down as a partner at the surgery. This will also mean that she is reducing her surgery hours significantly. Please also bear this in mind and again suggest that her patients start to consider seeing one of our other doctors within the Practice.

New IT System!

On 15th June we are moving over to a more advanced computer system. We anticipate that within the first few days and weeks we may experience some teething problems and we ask that you would bear with us during this period. We hope that you will not be too affected by this change and that normal service will resume as soon as possible. In light of this change, we would advise patients who need repeat medication to order this well in advance.

Wheelchair/Disabled Access

We have full disabled access throughout all three sites. We have a lift to the first floor at Queen Square Surgery, which makes all consulting and treatment rooms available to patients with mobility problems.

Make appointments and order repeat prescriptions online

At Queen Square you can now make and cancel appointments online. You are also able to order repeat prescriptions. This is possible by visiting a site called EMIS ACCESS. If you would like to use this service you first need to register, please ring the the surgery on 843333 or send an e-mail to nlt-pct.Queensquare@nhs.net. We can then organise the passwords that you will require.
