We have recently introduced a new digital assistant, Emma AI, to our telephone system. We know that changes to how you contact us can feel unsettling, and we sincerely appreciate the feedback—both positive and constructive—that we have received from a handful of patients so far.

We want to reassure you that our goal is to make our practice more efficient, not less, and we are monitoring Emma’s performance closely every single day.  Early signs are positive.

How Emma is helping us manage high call volumes:

• Zero wait times: Emma is currently answering calls within 10 seconds, eliminating long hold queues.
• High resolution: She is already successfully and satisfactorily handling the majority of patient queries on the first try.

Furthermore, our online web form remains open all day for all administrative and medical queries, offering a convenient alternative to calling.

We kindly ask for your patience and understanding as we embed this new system to better serve our patients. Our commitment to providing you with high-quality care remains our priority.

Thank you for working with us to improve our services.

At Millgate, we believe that healthcare belongs to everyone.

This June, our team is proudly celebrating Pride Month, standing in solidarity with our LGBTQ+ patients, staff, and the wider community.

Our practice is committed to providing a safe, respectful, and inclusive space for all individuals, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression. We are here to listen, support, and care for you exactly as you are.

Our Commitment to You:

A Safe Space: Zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind.

Respectful Care: Dignity, confidentiality, and understanding at every appointment.

Inclusive Support: Healthcare tailored to your needs in an environment where you can feel comfortable being your authentic self.

Whether you are visiting us for a routine check-up, speaking to our team, or managing your health, please know that you are seen, you are valued, and you are welcome.

Happy Pride!

After many years at Millgate Health Partnership and as of 24 April 2026, Dr Matthew Johnson has decided the time is right for him to leave the Practice and explore other opportunities.

We wish Dr Johnson all the best with his future endeavours

If you have any questions about your ongoing care, please don't hesitate to contact the practice.

NHS England — North West » NHS Launches Catch Up Campaign For Missed MMR Vaccines

•        Over one in ten children across England remain at risk of catching measles without both doses of the MMR vaccine

•        Measles is not just a childhood disease; adults can become seriously unwell

•        Measles in pregnancy is serious and can cause stillbirth, premature labour and miscarriage.

•        One in 15 measles cases can have complications such as meningitis, sepsis and blindness

•        The MMR vaccine is also available in a non-porcine version. Ask your GP surgery when booking your appointment if you would prefer this option.

•        Measles is one of the world's most infectious diseases, with one infected person giving it to approximately 15 other unvaccinated people. 

•        One in five children will require a hospital visit if they become unwell with measles (source)

•        The Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine is safe and has been used since the early 1980s.

•        There is no medical treatment for measles; MMR vaccination is the best protection against becoming seriously unwell

•        MMR vaccination is free on the NHS with the first dose being offered when a child is one year and the second at 3 years and 4 months old. This provides long lasting protection against measles, mumps and rubella

•        The evidence is clear; there is no link between the MMR vaccine and autism

Call to action

•        If you have missed any of your MMR vaccines contact your GP surgery to book an appointment

•        If your child / children have missed any of their MMR vaccines, contact their GP surgery to book an appointment

•        If you are unsure if your child / children are up to date with their vaccines check their red book (Child's health record).

•        If you are unsure if you are up to date with your vaccines contact the GP surgery

•        For more information on the MMR vaccine visit the NHS website
