Durnford Medical Centre is a modern practice, housed in purpose built premises on major bus routes and car parking within the surgery grounds.

To help patients with additional needs there is full level/ramp access to all areas together with a wheelchair/push-chair accessible toilet including "Magrini" baby changing facilities. Selected rooms are equiped with height adjustable examination couches. A portable "Hearing Aid Loop System" is available on request for hearing aid users and a folding wheelchair can be provided to help those with limited mobility to or from the car park and within the building. If you feel any of this equipment would help you with access to the building or during a consultation then please ask for details when booking your appointment or at the reception desk.

The full range of NHS Personal Medical Services (PMS) including Primary Care General Medicine, Minor Surgery, Child Health Surveillance, Contraceptive and Obstetric Care are available to all registered NHS patients together with an extensive range of non-NHS services including LGV/PCV/Taxi and other driving medicals, DNA testing, insurance medicals and occupational medicine services. Please note that all non-NHS services attract a fee in line with the scale agreed by the British Medical Association

The practice currently consists of five GP Principals (whose names are displayed by the main entrance), one Salaried GP, one or more doctors undertaking specialist training, two practice nurses and a Practice Manager together with associated administration and reception staff. All doctors in "non-training" posts have passed specialist training to become a G.P. Non-medical personnel often have specific clinical training eg phlebotomy (taking blood). The practice is approved for Doctors undergoing post-graduate specialist training and participates in the education of under-graduate medical students.

A number of personnel are attached to the practice or operate from the premises providing a varied range of additional services including Specialist Nurses, Midwifery, District Nursing, Health Visiting, Drug Counselling/liason, Clinical Psychology, Counselling and Community Mental Health Nursing. Durnford Medical Centre is host to Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale Primary Care Trust (HMRPCT) operated Anti-Coagulant, Specialist Dermatology and Consultant Ophthalmology Clinics for patients referred by their own G.P. or from local hospitals.

CCTV coverage of the reception desk does not record sound so any discussion you may have with the receptionists remains completly private.

Durnford Medical Centre is open throughout the day between 8-30 am and 6pm on weekdays, and is closed all day Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays.
