A DOCTOR'S surgery has announced that it has expanded the range of healthcare it offers.

Patients with Ulverston's Dr Murray and Partners can now benefit from mental, as well as physical, healthcare.

A spokesperson for the surgery said: "We are pleased to welcome a new addition to the Mid Furness Primary Care Network team. Patients will now be able to access mental health support in surgery.

"If you are struggling with low mood, anxiety, stress, grief, seeking review of anti-depressant medications, or just want someone to talk to, then please contact the surgery to organise an appointment.

"Please note, if you are already receiving mental health treatment from First Step or the Mental Health Team, you will not be able to access this service. This service is also only available to those aged 16 and over."
