CORONA VIRUS – any concerns that you might have about the Corona Virus visit the 111 website, please do not come into our surgeries CLICK here for NHS 111

28/05/2020

During the coronavirus pandemic, our staff have been working hard to ensure that all patients who need urgent care – not just those with coronavirus – have been able to get it. To avoid unnecessary contact, some non-urgent appointments and surgeries have been postponed and others delivered differently using technology.

We will continue to ask patients to attend face-to-face services only when it is really necessary, and where it can be done safely without putting our patients, the public or our staff at greater risk of catching coronavirus. Where possible, appointments will continue to be offered using remote services such as a video or phone consultation.

If you feel unwell or have hurt yourself, you can still get the care and treatment you need. It’s vital that if you’re having a potentially life-threatening medical emergency, such as a heart attack, stroke or really bad flare up of asthma, you contact the NHS.

You might be worrying about a mole that’s changed shape, or grown larger, and think you need to contact your GP.

Everyone in the NHS really appreciates people taking pressure off services for conditions that can be safely managed with over-the-counter medicines, and taken care of at home.

But it is crucial that for anything else that you do not risk life or wellbeing – contact NHS 111 online or by phone, get in touch with your GP, visit an Urgent Treatment Centre, or for emergencies go to A&E or call 999.

Update 06/04/2020

Any urgent dental needs outside of normal hours – search on the 111 website

Crich Medical Practice is so far coping, we have had staff and GP’s self isolating but the good news is that GP covid19 testing has started, so if a member of staff, or their family, gets symptoms then we can have them tested which means they don’t need the 14 day isolation and can get back to work sooner.

Update 25/03/2020

Please click on the following link to see Ivy Grove’s excellent website full of information about Coronavirus, (Ivy Grove is based in Ripley and is one of the practices we work closely with)

Update 23/03/2020

Our dispensaries at Holloway and South Wingfield are under a lot pressure, please allow 72 hours from requesting your repeat prescription. The Dispensary Staff are working flat out so please be patient with them, and also only order what is necessary. The dispensaries will soon be dispensing out of the windows to patients (rather than patients coming inside the surgery) to protect themselves.

Update from the GP’s 18/03/2020

It’s a difficult time for us all with the unknown coronavirus events that are evolving daily. Fundamentally, we have to keep the 3 GP surgeries functioning, coronavirus does not stop all other important health care that we provide to patients, but we need to minimise the risk of patient to patient spread and to GP’s, nurses and staff.

We are having to react and adapt, the phrase ‘unprecedented’ is used a lot with the coronavirus, but unfortunately GP Practices around the world are having to put unpopular plans into action to try and keep a level of medical care going, and your patience with this is appreciated.

So what are we currently doing ?

All online appointments have been blocked (this affects other aspects of online activity unfortunately) – this stops patients booking in to see a GP and coming into the surgery without being triaged first.
Signs are up at Holloway and South Wingfield, they are open for our dispensary patients to collect their meds as usual (but don’t go if you have a fever, cough, or shortness of breath, or if you or someone in your household is self isolating)
Patients are not allowed into Crich reception without speaking to a GP on the phone first and being invited in.
Patients can still ring in, the Receptionists will sort out a telephone appointment with a GP or a Nurse
Please don’t ring to ask questions about Corona Virus, please use the 111 website

Welcome to Crich Medical Practice

This website is provided to introduce you to our practice. We cover a wide area and in order to be more easily accessible to patients we have branch Surgeries at Holloway and South Wingfield as well as our main surgery at Crich. Branch surgeries are dispensing and patients living in these rural village areas will be able to obtain their prescribed medications from those premises. You may attend whichever of these surgeries is most convenient to your need, however, it helps us to work more efficiently if you can attend the same one wherever possible.

The doctors work in partnership and they all provide general medical care, maternity, contraceptive advice, minor surgery, health promotion and child health surveillance services.

Serious injuries ie suspected fracture, concussion etc should be dealt with at the Accident & Emergency dept at either Calow or The Royal Derby Hospital. Minor injuries such as cuts, bruises, minor lacerations etc can be seen at either Whitworth or Ripley Hospital.

Out of Hours

If you require urgent medical assistance, please dial the NHS 111 service, free of charge who will be able to assess you and direct you to the most appropriate point of care for your particular needs.
