About Radcliffe Medical Practice

RMP is one of the longest serving Radcliffe GP practices. It was started in 1932, by Dr. Conroy and was run from the front room of the Doctor’s house on James Street before it move to Stand Lane, firstly where the library is now situated and then later moved to 13 Stand Lane.

In 1975, the practice moved to the new purpose-built building which we know as Blackburn Street Health Centre. In March 2009, the practice moved again to its current base in the purpose built Radcliffe Primary Care Centre. Our premises are modern with facilities and access for the disabled.

Patients can access the practice Monday to Friday 8.00am until 6.30pm through pre-bookable appointments, on the day appointments, telephone consultations, on-line appointments, home visits and urgent appointments. In addition to this, appointments can be booked from 6.30 pm to 8pm Monday to Friday and weekend appointments Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 6pm under the Extended Hours Service.

As a practice we advocate proactive case finding with our enhanced services as we offer our more vulnerable patients, such as patients with dementia, mental health problems or learning disabilities, health checks and care plans. We also actively review our patients who attend Accident & Emergency to see if they require follow-up.
