Important update: Ordering your repeat prescriptions

To help us improve and streamline our services, we are making a change to how repeat prescriptions can be ordered online.

Going forward, if you order your prescription via our website, you will be redirected to PATCHS, where you can securely request your medication. This allows your request to be linked directly to your medical record, helping us process prescriptions more safely and efficiently.

Other ways to order your repeat prescriptions:

– You can register for and use the NHS App, which allows you to request prescriptions, view some of your medical records, and access test results.

Please note that the previous online prescription request form will no longer be available.

If you would like help registering for the NHS App or using PATCHS, our team will be happy to support you. Thank you for your understanding as we work to improve our services.

Breast screening invitation

Women aged 50 up to their 71st birthday that are registered at Longton Medical Centre are being invited for their routine mammogram.

Screening appointments will be held at either:

  • St Helens Hospital, Marshalls Cross Rd, St Helens WA9 3DA
  • Fingerpost Park Health Centre in a mobile unit, 9 Atlas St, St Helens WA9 1LN

If you are over the age of 71 and are no longer routinely invited for screening, you can self refer by contacting the breast screening unit.

If you need advice or have any concerns with regards to this appointment, please do not hesitate to contact us on 01925 275500, visit our website www.whsthkbss.nhs.uk or email whh.bsteam@nhs.net.
