Welcome to The Lakes Medical practice
Bishopyards Medical practice and Corney Place Medical practice merged on 4th August 2008 to become The Lakes Medical practice.
Our new telephone number is 01768 214345
All Change for Medical Staff
From January 2012 Dr Claire Brock will be changing her role in the practice.
Dr Brock has always had a major interest in women's health and sexual health and has decided to focus on this specialist role. Dr Brock will continue to provide the fitting and removal of contraceptive coils and implants, and will be developing a new sexual health service within the practice, but will no longer be running general surgeries.
The practice is extremely glad that Dr Brock will be continuing to work at The Lakes and providing this specialist service for all of our patients.
Dr Lyn Burnett has left the practice to take up a GP Partner position in a West Cumbria practice. Though we are sad to see her go we wish her all the best in her new practice.
We have two new GPs to introduce:-
Dr Chadha 
Dr Mellor
Dr Manan Chadha joined the team in October. Manan has been working in the Cumbria area since 2004 and has a special interest in Dermatology. He recently married and when not at work enjoys music and cricket.
Dr Chris Mellor joined the team in December, though you may recognise him as he has been working here as a locum for a few months already. Chris has also been working in Cumbria since 2004 and is married with 1 little boy. He likes the outdoors when he has time!
Both Dr Chadha and Dr Mellor will be working 3 days each per week.
We would like to extend a sincere thanks to our changing/outgoing GPs for all their hard work and dedication over the years, and a warm welcome to our new GPs.
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.
Newcastle Medical Students 2011
Through the Autumn months we have three medical students 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.
