Newsletter summer 2008

Crich Medical Practice is happy to welcome Cheryl Annable to the Team as new Practice Manager. Cheryl has already worked in a General Practice in Derby. She takes over in April from Sheila Jones who will be leaving us after 11 years of dedicated service. We will miss Sheila and hope that Cheryl will be able to step into her role confidently and become as valued a colleague and friend as Sheila has been.

Good luck in your retirement Sheila, you will be missed, but we wish you and your husband Barry much health and happiness for the future. We are sure you won’t be idle!

We also say goodbye to John Seddon who has been working for us as Practice Counsellor for over 15 years. He is not retiring but is cutting down his hours and will not be coming out to us any longer. We still have Alison Dilks with us to carry on the good work of Counsellor.

On a similar theme, we say hello to Anne Booth and Samantha Russell who have joined us as Receptionists. Welcome to you both, we hope you enjoy working with us. One of our present Receptionists, Gillian, has now moved to work in the Dispensary – good luck in your new role Gill.

Can you please let us know if you cannot keep your appointment with the Doctor, we are very often short of appointments to offer patients and it is frustrating because slots are wasted when people simply don’t turn up. It may seem a minor thing but if we add all the wasted appointment times up, it can run into hours each week! If you do miss an appointment, you may receive a letter from us reminding you!

Repeat Prescriptions – please allow 48 hours for your repeat prescriptions to be processed. This will help not only your doctor but the Pharmacists as well to get your medicines ready for collection. Please try and only order medicines that you need to cut down on wastage. See www.medicinewaste-eastmidlands.com.

If you are or you know anyone who is elderly, lives alone etc. who would benefit from going to the Crich Luncheon club held at the Glebe on a Wednesday, then please ring Christine Toft on 01773 856087 and she will be happy to offer you a place. Transport can be arranged if this is needed to collect and take people home afterwards.
