This website is designed primarily for our patients and is based on our Practice booklet, a copy of which is available at our surgeries. Should you have any constructive comments about our booklet, our website or about our surgeries in general, we shall be pleased to consider them.

Our Eight Doctor, two site Practice dates back to the birth of the NHS in 1948 when Dr Jackson established a Practice in Buttershaw and Dr Porchetta established another Practice on Little Horton Lane. Dr Moochhala joined the Buttershaw Practice in 1971 when it was a converted butchers shop on Halifax Road.
In 1977, Dr Moochhala was instrumental in joining both Practices together to become one of the first large group Practices in the area. This new group practice then moved into one of the first local authority area Health Centres at Park Road. In 1988 a brand new Medical Centre was opened on Buttershaw Lane. In 1990 we became computerised, and in 1997 a new Health Centre was completed at Park Road. Also, in 1997 we changed our name to Parklands Medical Practice.
The Practice has now expanded to cover in excess of 10,900 patients with Nine Doctors and four members of practice nurse team all working at both sites. This Practice is a member of the Bradford and Airedale teaching Primary Care Trust which means that we work closely with other local Practices to develop services in our area.
