Park Medical Practice Preston key details
Most useful detail: The practice works across two sites. When booking, confirm whether your appointment is at Cottam Lane Surgery or Geoffrey Street Surgery before travelling.
Which Park Medical Practice surgery should you attend?
| Site | Official address | What to check before travelling |
|---|---|---|
| Cottam Lane Surgery | Cottam Lane, Ashton, Preston, Lancashire, PR2 1JR | Main NHS and CQC-listed address. Use this map unless your appointment says Geoffrey Street. |
| Geoffrey Street Surgery | The Health Centre, Geoffrey Street, Preston, Lancashire, PR1 5NE | Second practice site. Confirm your appointment message before attending. |
Check the appointment text
Look for Cottam Lane or Geoffrey Street, not only “Park Medical Practice”.
Check clinician availability

Do not arrive late
The appointment page says if you arrive 10 minutes or more late, you will be asked to rebook.
Park Medical Practice appointment routes that matter
| Need | Best route | Important note |
|---|---|---|
| Book an appointment | NHS App, online contact, or call 01772 970150 | The practice says the easiest and most efficient way is via the NHS App. |
| Non-urgent online query | Accurx / online consultation | Practice says non-urgent/routine online consultations are accepted between 7am and 6:30pm. |
| Urgent help during opening hours | Call the practice, or use NHS 111 online if appropriate | Do not use a routine online query for serious urgent symptoms. |
| Emergency appointment | Contact practice for triage | The practice says extra capacity is held for medical emergencies and same-day care depends on condition. |
| Cancel appointment | Tell the practice as soon as possible | Cancelling early helps the slot go to another patient and reduces waiting times. |
New system warning: The practice homepage says it is moving to a triage appointment system from Monday 1st June because of NHS GP contract changes and appointment demand. Always follow the latest practice website instructions.
