Paramedic Service
Our Paramedics address a variety of same-day urgent conditions, including respiratory and cardiac issues, skin infections, and musculoskeletal problems. They visit housebound patients or those too unwell to make it to their surgery.
East Warrington PCN has 2 paramedics that work across the network , seeing patients from Birchwood Medical Centre, Fearnhead Medical Centre and Padgate Medical Centre. Because of this , your appointment location may be at one of the neighbouring practices instead of your registered GP surgery.
Appointments can be at the following location :
Birchwood Medical Centre, 15 Benson Road, Warrington WA3 7PJ.
If you have a paramedic appointment booked, please check the location prior to your appointment time to ensure you are in the correct place.
The below video explains why you might be seeing our Paramedic .

You and Your General Practice
Lung Cancer Screening is an NHS screening programme for people aged between 55 and 74 who smoke or have smoked in the past.
The screening (formerly known as Targeted Lung Health Checks) is offered in parts of England where there is a high incidence of smoking and lung cancer. It will roll out to the whole of the country by 2029/2030 as the national screening programme for lung cancer.
In Cheshire and Merseyside, they are being offered in Wirral, Warrington, Liverpool, Halton, Knowsley, St Helens and South Sefton. They will roll out to north Sefton in January 2026 before going into the rest of Cheshire later.
You can watch a video with our screening team explaining what they are – with sign language – here and see an animation about Lung Cancer Screening below:
PHARMACY FIRST
Pharmacy First is expected to free up GP appointments for patients who need them most and will give people quicker and more convenient access to safe and high quality healthcare. It includes the supply of appropriate medicines for 7 common conditions including earache, sore throat, and urinary tract infections, aiming to address health issues before they get worse.
Currently, NHS patients in England must visit their GP to access prescription only medication, meaning repeated GP visits and delays in treatment.
Community pharmacies offer a more convenient way to access healthcare that includes support with healthy eating, exercise, stopping smoking, monitoring your blood pressure, contraception.

This practice is delighted to be signed up to the Green Impact for Health Toolkit and is actively taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint.
The climate emergency is also a health emergency, and health care in the UK contributes 5.4% of the UK’s carbon emissions. We need to enhance the health of our current population without compromising the health of future generations, and this means operating within the sustainable boundaries of the planet. Fortunately most of the solutions for the planet also make our health better – for example eating a mainly plant-based diet, engaging in active travel and exercise in nature, avoiding smoking, reducing pollution etc all enhance our health and reduce our need for medications
