This is part of a large practice which was started on the 4th July 1988 to provide excellent whole person care. We aim to have a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and long enough consultations so that people will be able to talk. This is a Christian practice. We will never impose our beliefs on people, but will treat people equally and will respect them as unique and important individuals.

There is a car park round the back of the Surgery and there are bus stops very near the surgery. We're just next door to St Paul's school, Oswaldtwistle and almost next door to Oswaldtwistle Mills. The practice is privileged to be recognised as a Training Practice and we sometimes have fully qualified doctors attached to the practice for a year to complete their training for General Practice. We may also have doctors doing a four month attachment in General Practice during the second year after they qualify. We sometimes have student doctors as well, but you will be asked if you want them to be in when you see the Doctor. In 2003 we were privileged to receive the "Quality Practice Award" from the Royal College of General Practitioners. There is only one other practice in East Lancashire with this award. We work from three surgeries, Shadsworth Surgery, Rhyddings Surgery and Lambeth Street Surgery (Audley).

Here are some photographs of Rhyddings Surgery:
