Booster Covid Vaccination Centre Walk In Clinic

Nantwich Civic Hall, Market Street, Nantwich, CW5 5DG. Tuesday, December 21st (2pm-7pm) - Pfizer (boosters)

A message to all our patients

Update from Dr Marquis and Dr Saggar

Throughout the pandemic we have strived to make the medical centre as safe as possible to our patients and staff. We will continue to do so going forward and, from 19 July, nothing will change at the medical centre. Patients will still need to wear a mask if able to, socially distance and use hand sanitiser in the medical centre. Patient-facing staff will continue to wear PPE. We do understand that it can be frustrating but we know that when patients come to us they may be sick and vulnerable, and some cannot receive the Covid vaccine due to medical reasons so we feel it would be wrong to not continue with these small precautions that can help to protect the patients and staff at Wrenbury Medical Centre. Thank you in advance for your continued cooperation it is much appreciated by everyone at the practice.

Covid-19 Vaccination Programme

Astra Zeneca Vaccines - Updated Guidance and Further Information

Following the recent updated guidance for Astra Zeneca vaccines, the NHS Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group have provided further information for patients here.

We understand that people are anxious to receive a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible. However, please don’t contact your GP practice, local hospital or council to seek a COVID-19 vaccine appointment – appointments cannot be made in this way.

More COVID-19 vaccination services will be available near you early in the New Year and the NHS will contact you when it’s the right time to come forward. If you’re eligible for a vaccine, but are yet to be contacted, please remain patient. You will not be missed.

This is just the beginning of the largest vaccination programme the country has ever seen and we will make sure that the people who need it most (and those that care for them) are able to access the vaccine in a safe way with the least delay.

When you are invited for a vaccine, please act on your invite and make sure you attend appointments when you arrange them.

Please also continue to wear a face covering and follow social distancing and hand hygiene guidance as, until a vaccine has been fully rolled out, this is the most effective way to reduce transmission of the virus and help save lives.

Thank you.

Do I need to wear a face covering to prevent the spread of COVID-19?

COVID-19 infections are rising in Cheshire. Take extra care

HANDS wash them regularly and for 20 seconds.

FACE wear a face covering indoors where social distancing may be difficult, and where you will come into contact with people you do not normally meet.

SPACE stay 2 m apart from people you do not live with where possible

Follow the rule of six https://www.gov.uk/government/news/rule-of-six-comes-into-effect-to-tackle-coronavirus

A MESSAGE TO ALL OUR PATIENTS

Update from Dr Marquis and Dr Saggar

Thank you for your continued support, I know that you appreciate the importance of adhering to the advice in order to protect yourself, and to ensure that the practice team can maintain services. With this in mind you will understand the necessity for us to:

Keep the door closed to the surgery only opening it as and when necessary.
Request that you strictly adhere to the social distancing guidance (keeping at least 2 meters/ 6 feet distance from others), unfortunately not everyone has been doing this when coming to collect prescriptions – this is really important.
Ask you to wait for your text message or telephone call to advise your prescriptions are ready for collection, please then come to the practice and wait outside the front door – please follow the social distancing guidelines properly do not huddle together at the door! We will bring your medication bag to the door, We need you to help us by bringing your own pen if you have to complete a prescription form and please if you have to pay, bring a card so we can manage a contactless payment.

We hope that everyone in our community recognises the seriousness of the current situation – it goes without saying that we need your help and support to enable us to maintain our services.

We would like to thank everyone for their support and patience in respect of new processes for prescriptions and appointments, we are really pleased that, with your help, we are ensuring that we can maintain services during this very difficult time.

As you would expect we have received a great number of prescription requests, and we are working through these as quickly as we can, in order to ensure we can maintain our services it is important that patients do not over order and stockpile their medications. We fully understand everyone’s concerns and we are committed to meeting your needs, our ability to do this will be greatly increased with your on-going support. It is also going to take us a little longer than usual to get your prescription prepared and ready for collection so it is really important that you are patient and wait for your text or telephone message before you come to the Dispensary.

Dr Marquis and Dr Saggar

You will all be aware of the Coronavirus outbreak and we recognise how stressful and worrying it is for us all. Our sole aim is to try to ensure we can provide the services you need during this difficult time.

PRESCRIPTION COLLECTIONS FROM THE DISPENARY

We are a Dispensing Practice, to ensure we keep visits into the practice to a minimum we have implemented the following steps:

With immediate effect, please do NOT come to collect your prescription BEFORE you have received a text message or telephone call from us to collect it.
When you come to the practice, please look through the main door before entering, do NOT form a queue at the Dispensary Window but wait outside the building until the other patient has left. Our glass window will be closed and we will open it to the hand the bag to you, receive your completed prescription and take payment if you pay for prescriptions.
Please bring your OWN pen so you can complete the back of your prescription when handed to you.
If you do pay for your prescriptions please can you try to use a payment card, “contactless” payment is exactly that!
Please help us by ordering your medications “on line” such as by the MyGP App or Patient Access. You can also order via the Wrenbury Medical Practice Website Prescriptions Page. Our preference is via My GPApp or Patient Access if you already have this set up.
If you are unable to do the above please do not bring your paper prescription requests in to the practice but post them in our external letter box which is on the outside of the building near to the outer door.
If you are a patient to whom we do not dispense the actual drugs to but we instead provide a paper script for collection which you then take to the chemist we will be contacting you to ask you to tell us which chemist you wish to pick up your prescription from and we will post the prescription directly to them. Please DO NOT ring us, wait for us to contact you.

We will try to provide regular updates and share these on our practice website and via the Wrenbury Facebook Page and the Parish Council Website.

We are proud to be part of the Wrenbury Community and we know that you will want to support not only the practice team but each and every one of our communities friends, neighbours and families, however, we need your help with all of the above to ensure we can help you and those in greatest need.

Please listen and act on the national advice, most importantly in washing your hands often and well!
