  1. Review titled Efficient Practice

    Rated 3 stars out of 5

    by Chris Wolfenden - Posted on 31 August 2023

    I went to this Practice for a Scan of a Lump on my Elbow. When I checked in, initially the Receptionist could not find my Name on her list of appointments for that day. She asked me for my DOB and was able to find me through that information. It turned out, that they had registered the Appointment using my Middle Name rather than my First Name. I was surprised at this as the appointment was made using my First Name - I do not use my Middle Name - and when I asked the Receptionist to Amend the details that the practice held on me, she failed to do so. Other than that, the appointment and Scan were carried out efficiently and respecfully.

  3. Review titled Life saver

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Christine Quinn - Posted on 31 May 2023

    I was visiting St Anne’s and became very unwell quickly with a severe urine infection, a person who came to my aid told me to attend Whitegate. I was so impressed with the treatment and compassionate I received, I was far away from home, scared and in pain but I was seen to quickly and prescribed antibiotics I am so thankful for the care I received

  4. Review titled Excellent service..

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by John.. - Posted on 26 March 2023

    I took my father-in-law to the Centre following a less than average call with his surgery... From the receptionist to the medic he had a quality of service that was second to none. Friendly and supportive...he is 92.... His issue was resolved without fuss...a test undertaken...and a dressing applied....with follow-up agreed... Thank you....I will have no reservation to use your service again..

  5. Review titled Lottery

    Rated 3 stars out of 5

    by Paul Lancaster - Posted on 24 February 2023

    I was visiting Blackpool looking after my mother. Out of curiosity I took a Blood Pressure test. It was quite high. My GP was 250 miles, away, so I went to this NHS Walk-in centre. I had a short wait, saw a GP and was prescribed BP medication. He advised me that to come back if after 10 days if my BP was still high. 10 days my later BP was still high so I returned. This time I was seen by a nurse. She told me to a local GP and register as a visitor. It was Friday afternoon, which left me with a weekend of worry of having a heart attack or stroke.

  6. Review titled Opening Times

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by MR KENNETH SPEAKMAN - Posted on 27 February 2023

    Having searched online for the opening times of Whitegate Drive Health Centre I eventually found out that it is open from 08:00 until 20:00 everyday. So I turned up at 07:30 to wait and be one of the first in the queue. However I was going for an X-Ray, there was a very pleasant lady behind the desk, she informed me that the X-Ray department does not open until 09:00. Why is this information not on the web?

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    I was referred for an X-ray by my GP. Went along to X-ray at Whitegate Drive walk in centre, expecting to be waiting for quite a while. On arrival I was directed to the dedicated X-ray area, where I was immediately booked in. Only a few minutes later I was taken to the X-ray area to change. As soon as I was ready, I was called into the X-ray theatre and the process was completed with a few minutes, by very friendly, polite radiology team. I was on my way less than 20 mins after arriving. Fantastic service, thank you.

  8. Review titled Unbelievable

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Gaynor Starks - Posted on 31 January 2023

    If it hadn't been for the service I received here I wouldn't be able to write this review. Because of the super-efficient knowledge of a certain member of staff my family would be planning my funeral. I contracted sepsis and pneumonia. They worked so fast and I will be eternally grateful. They do a fantastic job and not enough credit is given. Thanks all you do a fantastic job..

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    I used this service having fallen on a stone staircase, resulting in damage to my face. your reception expressed concern and informed me that they would try and fast track for treatment they ask me to wait, within 4-5 minutes a doctor called me into his room where he carried out a full medical and mental examination. he then escorted me to a wound dressing station, giving instructions to the two excellent nurses on what dressings to be used. I cannot praise to highly the medical service I was given by the team in the Blackpool w.i.center
