Important information regarding Billinge Medical Practice

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside has been informed that the landlords of Billinge Medical Practice intend to sell the building. We are working closely with the practice and NHS England to explore suitable future options and are committed to supporting the practice to ensure that primary care services are retained for its patients.

Any sale does not affect the operation of the practice, which continues to provide services as normal. We will share further updates as soon as more information becomes available.

St Helens is home to more than 185,000 people and combines a proud industrial heritage with a mix of urban communities, villages and extensive green spaces.

There are four PCNs operating in St Helens:
