Welcome to Our Practice

Woolton House Medical Centre is a modern practice offering high quality care to its patients plus a broad and highly prioritised training programme for junior doctors.

Woolton House was built in 1867 as a wedding present to Mr John Cross, a surgeon, and his new wife.  From that day to this, the house has been used continually as a medical practice, adapting successfully to the many changes in health care provision over the years.

The practice covers a diverse area but the practice list of nine thousand is mainly located in the suburban village of Woolton, which became part of the City of Liverpool in the early 20th century. Find out more about the Medical Centre...

COVID-19 – SYMPTOMATIC AND ASYMPTOMATIC TESTING:  With the increase in circulating levels of Covid-19, and the fact that people who have been vaccinated may be displaying symptoms other than the main 3 symptoms of Covid-19, there has been a change to testing protocols:

If you have any of the MAIN SYMPTOMS of Covid-19, such as

• a high temperature,
• a new continuous cough or
• loss or change to your sense of smell or taste

stay at home and book a PCR test.  You need to isolate until you know the result.

Book at  www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test    or call 119.

If you feel unwell with ANY OTHER SYMPTOMS such as

• a headache,
• stuffed or runny nose,
• tiredness or weakness,
• aches and pains,
• sore throat or
• diarrhoea

you need to take a rapid home test.  If the result is positive, then book a PCR test and stay at home until you know the result.  If you do need to isolate after a positive test, remember support is available at  https://liverpool.gov.uk/communities-and-safety/emergency-planning/coronavirus/how-to-get-tested/

for details.

If you have NO SYMPTOMS you should still get tested twice a week.  You can collect rapid home tests from your local pharmacy or order them online.  You can also visit community test sites or attend one of the mobile testing vehicles.  There is no need to book an appointment.  Visit  https://liverpool.gov.uk/communities-and-safety/emergency-planning/coronavirus/how-to-get-tested/symptom-free-testing/  or call 119 for details.
