WASTED APPOINTMENTS 

For the month ofNOVEMBER 2023 a total of 69 appointments were wasted at the surgery due to patients not cancelling their unwanted appointments. 

Please call us on 01746 710223 if you can no keep your appointment. This will allow us to offer the appointment to another patient who needs it. 

Due to the current outbreak we will be accepting repeat prescription requests via our email address claverley.medical@nhs.net. You can also post requests through our letter box if you wish.

Online booking of appointments have been suspended for the foreseeable future.

We are doing our bit to try and protect our most vulnerable patients.

Claverley surgery is now taking part in "GP First Extended Access". We now offer appointments outside of our usual opening hours. We are working alongside other surgeries in the surrounding areas that our patients can attend with a pre-booked appointment. See extended access tab on the right of the webpage for more details.

 

For test results please  phone the surgery after 2pm.

For medication queries please phone after 11am.

28 Day Repeat Prescribing

A 28 day repeat prescribing interval is recognised by the NHS as making the best possible balance between patient convenience, good medical practice and minimal drug wastage. Prescribing for shorter periods has been widely promoted across England. Research by the National Audit Office in 2007 has shown home and excess medicine stock values for patients prescribed a 28 day supply of a medicine to be one third less than those for patients receiving prescriptions to cover 56 days. In addition, a Bradford University Study concluded that the NHS cost of prescriptions issued for 56 days’ supply is greater than those for 28 days.

 

From 1st April 2020 the NHS Prescription Charge is £9.65

 

The NHS prescription charge is a contribution to the NHS; it is not a payment to the surgery or its dispensary and is not related to the cost of your medicines(s).

If you need 4 or more prescriptions in three months or 13 or more prescriptions a year, you could save money with a Prescription Prepayment Certificate.

We actively encourage our patients to consider this as it covers any prescription during this period of time, eg one off antibiotic prescriptions or creams etc. in addition to any regular repeat prescriptions.

Ask a member of the dispensary team for more details or visit www.nhs.uk/healthcosts
