Access to Medical Records at Penrith Hospital

From next month we hope to have in place a new computer system at Penrith Hospital. This will allow certain medical staff access to vital medical information when you are seen at the hospital. For further information look at our Spring Newsletter.

Staff Training

The practice will be closed every alternate  Thursday lunchtime between 12.30 and 13.30. This is for staff training. Telephone calls for urgent advice or requests for emergency care will be directed through to the duty GP.

Vasectomy Service

We operate a service where any man can either refer himself or get his GP to refer him for a No-Scalpel Vasectomy. This is a simple procedure undertaken in a local hospital clinic with an excellent success rate.

Summer Newsletter

The current edition of the practice newsletter is now awaiting printing! Copies will be available soon  from the practice reception, in the waiting room, and from the website. (Download the pdf file by clicking on Practice Newsletters in the Practice Information column on your right.) Articles include staying safe in the sun, the vasectomy service run from the surgery, details on obtaining travel vaccines, and a questionnaire on our repeat prescribing system!

To try and make for a 'lighter read' we are going to start adding in cartoons and poems of a medical leaning in the next edition. If you have particular favourites that you feel require a wider audience, or you are a budding artist/poet that needs recognition, please get in touch.


The Lakes Practice Patient Participation Group

A fundraising coffee morning was held on Saturday 29th May at the Methodist Church Hall. Many thanks to those patients and staff that turned up. Special thanks to those individuals involved in organising and running the event.

The quiz draw was won by Mrs Margaret Willan of Penrith. Second prize went to Mrs M Thompson.

All attending enjoyed the resuscitation training, with the highest score for effective chest compressions going to Mrs Christine Harrison. The two GP's that had a go were excluded due to potential perceived unfair advantage!!!

The next meetings will be held at the practice on Monday 19th July at 7pm. All Lakes Practice patients are welcome to attend.



Through this new website we hope to improve services to all our patients and enable you to find the information required at the click of a mouse.  You can order repeat prescriptions online, download registration forms, cancel existing appointments, change your address and much more.

All new patients will be invited to attend a new patient check with the Practice Nurse.

Occasionally during the Autumn months we have a medical student attached to the practice.  We feel this is an important part of our work in training future doctors and we ask for our patients co-operation.  However, we respect your wishes if you do not want a student to sit in during a consultation. Ample notice will be given if a student is likely to be sitting in on your consultation.
