Charlestown Medical Practice: Patient information

GP practices work together with community, mental health, social care, pharmacy, hospital and voluntary services in their local areas in groups of practices known as Primary Care Networks (PCNs).

Charlestown Medical Practice works collaboratively within the Higher Blackley, Harpurhey and Charlestown PCN. You may be treated and cared for by PCN staff either at the practice or at central locations. All of the staff work closely with our GPs and staff at Charlestown Medical Practice.

PCNs build on existing primary care services and enable greater provision of proactive, personalised, co-ordinated and more integrated health and social care for people close to home.

Please be aware, the Macmillan support line (0808 808 00 00) is open from 8am to 8pm seven-days-a-week, for general information, emotional or financial support.

Did you know:

• Spotting cancer early increases the chances of survival.
• Diagnosing cancer before it has the chance to spread too far means that treatment is more likely to be successful.

You know your body best so speak to your doctor if something doesn’t seem right.

National screening programmes can help diagnose cancers at an early stage, when treatment is more likely to be successful. Cancer screening is for those without symptoms, so if you’ve noticed a change, please don’t wait for screening – tell your doctor as soon as possible.

Whatever cancer throws your way, Macmillan is right there with you.
