Official opening of the new Cartmel Surgery

Sue Page, Chief Executive of Cumbria PCT, performed the official opening After six years of searching and six months of renovation work, Drs Milligan and Lovatt and their practice staff were delighted to welcome patients and local residents to view the new Cartmel Surgery facilities on Thursday 25th June. The new surgery is a short walk down Haggs Lane from the old surgery.

Cumbria Primary Care Trust Chief Executive, Sue Page, did the honours by performing a brief opening ceremony and this was followed by a blessing of the new surgery by Rev. Robert Bailey. Our thanks to them both!

The surgery will provide a larger, more modern medical environment for the growing patient list in the village and wider area. The premises have four consultation rooms, which is two more than the old Windy Nook facility which had become very cramped. There are currently some 2,000 patients registered at Cartmel Surgery.

All staff who worked at the old surgery have moved with the practice to the new premises. Our new address is Cartmel Surgery, Haggs Lane , Cartmel LA11 6PH. The telephone number remains the same: 015395 36366.
