The Medicines Order Line 01246 588 860 (9am – 4pm Mon-Fri)

From Wednesday 30th September we are changing the way you order your repeat prescription. Patients will call the dedicated Medicine Order Line to speak to an experienced health professional when needing to reorder a repeat prescription. Patients will still be able to order their repeat medication online.

This will free up our telephone lines and reduce call waiting time.

Once you have made the telephone call your prescription will be authorised by your usual GP and will then be sent to the pharmacy of your choice within two working days. In exceptional circumstances it may be collected from your GP practice if preferred. Please allow additional time for the pharmacy to get your prescription ready for you. If you have an existing arrangement with your pharmacy to deliver your prescription please speak with them to ensure this will continue.

Advice for patients when attending for your flu vaccination

•Please attend the appointment alone
•Arrive on time for your appointment. Any late arrivals will have to be rebooked.
•You must wear a mask (these will NOT be provided by the surgery)
•Do not attend your appointment if you have any COVID symptoms
•Please comply with social distancing

This year the flu vaccine is being offered on the NHS to

Adults 65 and over (You’re eligible for the flu vaccine this year (2020 to 2021) if you’ll be aged 65 or over on 31 March 2021. That is, you were born on or before 31 March 1956)

People with certain medical conditions (including children in at-risk groups from 6 months of age)

Pregnant women

Children and adults with weakened immune systems

Please note that people in the 50-64-year old age group will not be vaccinated until November and December, providing there is sufficient vaccine, and no appointments will be offered for this age group until then. This is to ensure that those who are most at risk are vaccinated first. However, if you’re aged 50 to 64 and in an at-risk group, you should not delay having your flu vaccine.

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.
