Myrtle House Medical Practice
I rang my mother today and she informed me that had heard that Dr.Manual had retired. Can anyone shed anymore light on this?

Re: Myrtle House Medical Practice
I was in there yesterday , which is now the surgery's half-day .
There was an Asian doctor present , but he could be standing in for one on holiday .
I heard no news about Dr Manuel .
I hope he hasn't retired . He was great with my parents in their old age and in their dying .

Re: Myrtle House Medical Practice
Yes, I'm pretty sure he's retired, I found a photo of his retirement do online a few weeks ago whilst I was searching for their opening times.

Re: Myrtle House Medical Practice
He's definitely retired, when I asked the receptionist who was taking over from him she said "No-one, we've merged with the Oswald Medical Practice, the doctor you see will depend on who they send." Can anyone recommend a good doctor?

Re: Myrtle House Medical Practice
Rhyddings Surgery are very good in my experience, you can usually see which doctor you prefer. Dr's Prout, Smith and Craig are really nice people. My family have been with them for years and they also have another surgery in Shadsworth.

Re: Myrtle House Medical Practice
Dr Manuel was my doctor.
It would have been nice to have been notified of this change
I last saw him when he visited me in December. He always was slim build, but looked very thin. I wonder if he is retiring due to some health problem.
I have looked at the website for Oswald medical practice - no mention of Dr Dixon - is he retiring too?

Only two years? I'm at an age where I don't like change so that thought fills me with trepidation.

Re: Myrtle House Medical Practice
From the Myrtle House website: Myrtle House Surgery - GP Surgery Website.
On the 2nd of May 2014 Dr Athur Manuel retired as GP partner and the practice merged with Oswald Medical Centre who also have branch surgeries in the Acorn Centre, Accrington & also Oswaldtwistle & Blackburn.
We are pleased to say we can now also offer our patient's appointments at the Acorn Centre to see a GP or to use their treatment room facilities.

Re: Myrtle House Medical Practice
My husband left Oswald Medical Centre to join Myrtle House as he could never get an appointment when he needed one. I hope the appointment system at Myrtle House stays as it is now.

Re: Myrtle House Medical Practice
Just be thankful you ren't with Pals...it would be a week next Camel racing day!
You could be dead and buried by the time you get an appointment there.
