Female patients registered with one of our Bridgedale partner practices can also book for contraception fitting at the practice (see the Our Services page). Women from outside our usual catchment area are welcome to register with the practice to benefit from our expertise, but we cannot register patients that live outside Greater Preston / South Ribble. There are menopause services available privately across the region for those who are not our patients, including a private clinic with Dr Craven. See Dr Craven Women's Health

Our Building - Dardsley
Our building has a fascinating history. It was built in 1886 by the Sharples family, as their home and doctor's practice. Dr Thomas Sharples and his son Dr Sydney Sharples lived and worked there over the following 65 years. From 1951 to 2008 the building was expanded to host the Prescription Pricing Bureau. Our Doctor Doctor project is revealing more of this history and capturing wonderful local memories of what it has been like going to the doctor over the last 135 years!
