Important Update: Potential Industrial Action

Due to the planned national junior doctor industrial action, Millgate Healthcare Partnership may experience disruptions to our usual staffing levels from Monday 15th June to Friday 19th June.

We are working hard to minimise the impact on our patients, but please be aware of the following temporary changes to our services next week:

What You Need to Know:

Limited Service: We will be running a reduced service and prioritising patients with urgent or acute medical needs.

Routine Appointments: If you have a routine issue or wish to book a non-urgent appointment, we kindly ask that you wait and contact the practice the following week (commencing 22nd June).

If You Already Have an Appointment: If your appointment is affected by the industrial action, a member of our team will contact you directly. If you do not hear from us, please attend your appointment as planned.

We appreciate your patience, understanding, and kindness toward our team during this challenging week as we work to keep our most vulnerable patients safe.

We are closed bank holiday Monday 26th May 2026.

For non-emergencies call NHS 111 for free or visit online, support is available in other formats if needed.

Local pharmacies remain an easy and convenient way to get instant expert advice about minor conditions like sore throats and urinary tract infections. And in many cases avoid the need to go to A&E or wait for a GP appointment.

If you need support with contraception, many pharmacies can initiate oral contraception and to supply oral contraception for those already taking it. Many pharmacies also provide Emergency Hormonal Contraception (The ‘morning after pill’), in some cases free - check your local council website for more information.

If you need urgent help when your dental practice is closed or you don’t have a regular dentist, call the Greater Manchester Dental Helpline on 0333 332 3800. It is available 8am to 10pm every day, including weekends and bank holidays. A charge may apply.

Greater Manchester’s Urgent Eye Care Service can provide help quickly if you have a sudden change in vision, red or painful eyes or new flashes or floaters. Go to Minor and urgent eyecare services to find an optician that is part of the service. This is not a walk-in service so always call first.

For mental health crisis support 24/7 call NHS 111 and press 2.

For any life-threatening issues call 999 or go to your nearest emergency department.

If we’re lucky enough to have hot weather or you’re travelling somewhere hot, make sure you take precautions - limiting your time in the heat if you can. When outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, drink water and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter.

A few simple steps can make a big difference – helping to ensure urgent care is there for those who need it most.

Find more information on where to go for health advice all year round and tips on staying well during a heatwave.

Looking for things to do in Tameside this weekend? 🌳

Getting out and about is one of the best things you can do for your mental and physical health. A few things happening nearby:

Local Walks: Why not pop to Haughton Dale Nature Reserve which offers lovely riverside walks

Check your local library, there's an Autism Art event on at Ashton

Saturday morning is also known as Parkrun morning! 👟
Did you know there are free, timed 5k events every Saturday at 9:00 am? It doesn’t matter if you run, jog, or walk—it’s all about the community and getting moving, the nearest one is in Hyde.

Have a great weekend!
