Complex Dressings

Currently nurses within Amber Valley GP Surgeries see patients who have complex dressing needs, a complex dressing that is for an injury that has not healed, or is unlikely to heal, within 2 weeks.

Derby Community Health Services have set up local dressings clinics for Amber Valley GP Practices. These clinics are staffed with trained nurses who will see patients in 3 local hubs; this will include patients from Crich Medical Practice.

By having these dressing clinics, patients will receive a better level of care and wounds will heal quicker. This will also free up time for our Practice Nurses who are over committed with appointment requests

New Service For Patients

You may be aware that all practices are now required to provide their patients with a named GP who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides for them. Each patient now has a named GP but this does not prevent you from seeing a GP of your choice.
