Marshalls Cross Medical Centre
Welcome to Marshalls Cross Medical Centre
This practice is provided by St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. Our aim is to make sure our patients are well informed and cared for to the highest possible standard.
We work as a multidisciplinary team; the core of our highly skilled team being our Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANP) and General Practitioners (GP) who are supported within the practice by Nurses, Patient Care Advisors (PCA), Senior PCAs, Deputy Practice Manager and our Practice Manager.
We also work closely with colleagues outside the practice such as Pharmacists, District Nurses, Community Matrons and Social Services.
The practice will occasionally offer training places for GPs and other health care providers and we will continue to include our patients in research, audit and the Friends and Family Test (FFT). This means you may on occasion be asked to complete questionnaires, if you choose not to participate this will not prejudice your care in any way.
Parking is free for patients attending the surgery for an appointment. Car Park tickets are validated at reception.

Administration

They can provide basic information on services as well as results and can direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Patient Care Advisors make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and the Practice Nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions, dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with financial claims, dealing with patient records and carrying out searches as well as practice audits.

- Improved Access
CCGs are required by NHS England to provide extended access to GP services, including at evenings and weekends, for their population.
On 1st October 2018, phase one of the Improving Access to General Practice service began introducing 7 day access to GP services in St Helens with pre-bookable appointments outside normal surgery hours.
On Monday 26th November 2018, phase 2 of the service began which increased the number of locations offering appointments outside of normal surgery hours to three, with the fourth location preparing to go live in January 2019.
This service increases residents’ access to routine GP and Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) appointments on evenings and weekends. Appointments are pre-bookable by your registered GP practice.
However, the appointments will not be with your regular GP or Advanced Nurse Practitioner and will be at ‘hubs’ across St Helens with a GP or ANP who will have access to the same health records as your regular GP.
