Test results: when a doctor has reviewed your results, they will ask the reception to contact you, if the doctor needs to speak to you, or to arrange a repeat test. This may be by text message, phone, email or letter. We do not contact you regarding normal test results. If you are expecting to be contacted, and have not been, you should contact the surgery, please do this in the afternoon, to allow for urgent appointment requests.

Welcome to Tonge Fold Health Centre

We are a long established 5 partner practice based in Tonge Fold Bolton.
We have a low turnover of staff and patients and believe that we offer a high quality, personal service where the patient gets to know their doctor and vice versa.
Although patients are allocated a named accountable GP, the doctors do not operate personal lists, so any patient can choose to see any of our GPs.

You can use our website to find out more about the practice.

You can also use it to:

order a repeat prescription
book an appointment
contact the surgery
Check surgery opening times
let us know what you think of us.

The Health Centre

All services are provided from Tonge Fold Health Centre, the premises are owned by the doctors.

There is wheelchair access to all areas, and disabled toilet facilities. The centre is all on one level.
Baby changing and feeding areas are available, please ask at reception.
There is airconditioning for patient comfort.
We are very easy to find and there is always plenty of space to park.

For other access needs, please speak to our reception team, who will try to help you.

Who are GPs?

GPs are self-employed independent contractors to the NHS. They work together to employ staff in GP practices to provide services to patients.
We operate within Bolton, an area of the Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership.
For some things, we collaborate with other local practices, as part of the Breightmet and Little Lever Primary Care Network (PCN).
