Dr Rasool’s Practice

14/06/2026

We are hosting a special breast screening drops in afternoon on Tuesday 16 June:

• 9.30am to 12pm at the One Life Medical Centre, Linthorpe Road Middlesbrough
• 1pm to 4pm, at the breast care unit at University Hospital of Hartlepool

It’s an open invite for women to come along and get a behind-the-scenes look at its state-of-the-art breast imaging facilities.

Senior radiographer Helen Clyde, said: “Unfortunately we do get a number of missed appointments. That’s why we offer these open days – so women are relaxed and familiar with the process.

“Please do not ignore the breast screening invite when it arrives. If the appointment is not suitable, please get in touch and we will change it for you to help make sure you get your regular mammogram.”

Enhanced Access Service Update

From 1 April 2026, the Enhanced Access service will be provided directly by Billingham and Norton Primary Care Network (PCN). This service was previously delivered by Hartlepool and Stockton Health (HASH)

There will be no pause or disruption to services, and patients will continue to be able to access appointments in the same way as before. Clinics will continue to run at the same locations and times, and patients can expect the same range of services to be available.

This change simply means the service will now be managed locally by the Billingham and Norton PCN on behalf of our member practices.

If you have an appointment booked after 1 April, there is nothing you need to do, and your appointment will go ahead as planned.
