Proposal to relocate Dr Bello's and King Street Medical Centre GP practices in Accrington

The lease on the current buildings of Dr Bello's Surgery and King Street Medical Centre in Accrington are due to expire and the most sensible option at this point is to relocate the services into new premises. By doing this, as well as getting best value for money, services can be provided from a modern purpose-built facility. The proposal is to relocate services to Acorn Primary Health Care Centre in Blackburn Road, a short distance from the current premises.

The practices' priority is to make sure patients have continued access to high-quality GP services. All the staff will remain unchanged so patients will continue to see the same people for their appointments. The way they contact the surgery will also remain unchanged, with the telephone number for the surgery remaining the same. The only difference would be the location of the practice.

Drop-in sessions took place at Dr Bello’s Surgery on Friday 8 November 2024, from 10am to 11.30am and at King St Medical Centre on Monday 11 November 2024, from 10am to 11.30am Patients were invited to attend to raise any concerns or ask questions.
