Dispensary                   We are lucky to be able to have prescriptions dispensed here in the village.  If you

                                    Need a repeat prescription, you can order one in the following ways:

 

                                    In person at one of the surgeries.

                                    By telephone on 01299 890056 between 1 p.m. and 3.30 p.m.

                                    By email: wor-pct.GreatWitleyRptPrescriptions@nhs.net

                                    (give your name and address, date of birth, items needed, and the strength

                                    of the medication (5 mcg/mg or 20 mls, for example) – and your telephone number

                                    By post

                                    By fax on 01299 896873

 

Repeat prescriptions will be ready for collection after 2 p.m. if requested before 10 a.m. two days before – for example, a repeat prescription requested before 10 a.m. on Monday will be ready after 2 p.m. on Wednesday.

 

If you find it difficult to collect your prescription there is a delivery service. Let the Dispensary know at the time of ordering your medication.  At the moment we can deliver to Martley surgery or Clifton on Teme Stores.

 

Appointments              All consultations are by appointment only.   Please telephone 01299 896788 to

make an appointment, or call at Reception. When you come to the surgery, please let the Receptionist know that you have arrived.  Please let us know if you can’t make your appointment.   There are some appointments kept for URGENT cases,

but they must be urgent!

 

Home Visits                  If you really cannot get to the surgery, please try to telephone 01299 896370 before

10 a.m.

 

 

 

Emergencies                Out of hours, if you need emergency help or advice, you should telephone this number: 03001233211.   This is the new direct number.  You will get through to someone who will immediately be able to help.   If you phone the surgery number, 01299 896370, you will get help, but it may take a few minutes longer because you will be transferred.   Either way, don’t worry, a doctor will be there for you.  (It may not be a doctor you know, but they will be local, and they will always be there).

 

Test Results                 If you want to know the result of a test, please telephone 01299 896370 between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to ensure that the doctor has had time to review it.

 

Antenatal/Postnatal

Clinic                           Each doctor has a weekly clinic – Reception has all the details.  

 

                                    The Community Midwife runs an antenatal clinic on Mondays, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

 

                                    The Health Visitor runs a Child Health clinic on the 1^st and 3^rd Tuesdays of the month from 2 p.m. to 3.30 p.m., giving general advice, baby weighing etc.   Make an appointment with Reception on 01299 8965788.

 

Reception will always be able to help you with anything you may want to know, whether you need

family planning advice, advice about going abroad, or information about tests, clinics, or

organisations that can offer support.
