Clinics & Services

Mather Avenue Surgery provides a range of services including:

Routine and Urgent Appointments

If you require a GP appointment, please phone reception on 0151 427 6239. A routine appointment can be a few weeks away due to high demand on GP services. The Care Navigator will ask for a reason for the appointment. This is to help them determine the best clinician for you to see. However, you do not have to give a reason if you do not want to. 

Antenatal

The practice offers a programme of care for expectant mothers, in conjunction with the midwife and Liverpool Women’s Hospital Obstetric Unit. If you think you are pregnant then arrange to see the Doctor or Midwife. The antenatal clinic is run by the midwife on a Tuesday afternoon from 13:00 to 16:00 by appointment only.
