Have a look on the Care Quality Commission website to see if you can find a better GP practice in Ashton.
If you need an appointment, usually the same day but out of normal hours, ring the Dicconson group practice in Wigan on 01942 482848. The appointment won’t necessarily be at that practice but it will be in the Wigan area.
The GP surgeries are mostly in the private sector and have been since the NHS was created n 1948. The powers that be are trying to get the GP’s as salaried employees of the NHS but not having much luck.
