A health check a short drive from Shaw
Shaw and Crompton, usually just called Shaw, is a short drive north-east of us, so Oldham Clinic on Featherstall Road North is a convenient option for a private health check. The service at Westwood Pharmacy gives you a prescriber-led check and a proper explanation of your results in one appointment, with no GP referral and same-week availability.
Checks for a settled former mill town
Shaw grew up around the cotton mills, and today it is a settled, residential town with a strong local identity. In communities like this, long-term conditions such as high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes are common and often silent for years. A quick, private health check is an easy way to catch them early without waiting weeks for a GP slot.
Understand what your results mean
We can check blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and general wellbeing, tailored to you. Your prescriber then explains the numbers in plain English and gives you a clear, honest plan, whether that is reassurance, some lifestyle changes or a recommendation to see your GP. See our booking page for current health check prices.
