Dispensary Opening Hours

 

Opening times:

8:30 -13:00 (emergencies until 13:30)

 

14:00 - 18:00 (emergencies until 18:30)

When We Are Closed

Should you require health information and advice hours outside of normal surgery please ring 111. This is a 24 hour service free from both landline and mobile telephone numbers.

How does it work?

Trained call advisers, supported by nurses, will assess patients’ symptoms and put them directly in touch with the appropriate professional (e.g. general practice, an out of hours doctor, district nurse, emergency dentist, chemist etc).  NHS 111 can also send an ambulance, if required.  The Service will be provided by the South Central Ambulance Service.

Each area will have a Directory of Services, listing local services, their access criteria, opening hours and current capacity.  Where possible, NHS 111 will book an appointment or transfer the patient directly to the service they need to speak to.

Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

In a genuine emergency you should call 999. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.

Clift Surgery Dispensary and Repeat Prescriptions

This is a dispensing practice and most of our patients can therefore collect their medication from the surgery, for those living at least 1 mile from a chemist. By choosing our dispensary, you not only support the services we provide as a surgery, but you also save time and effort. Our friendly team will be happy to assist you with your prescription needs and answer any questions you may have.

Opening hours: Monday – Friday 08:30-13:00 13:30-18:30. Dispensary limited opening on 3rd Thursday of the month between 12- 3pm for training. Access to emergency medication  prescriptions will still be available.

Managing your prescription.

At Clift Surgery, repeat prescriptions may be requested in the following ways:

  • By hand – drop your repeat slip into dispensary or if closed in the post box located to the right of the main entrance.
  • By post – send it to us.
  • By ordering online – using NHS APP or Patient Access (N.B. NHS APP is replacing Patient Access)

We can discuss prescription queries by telephone if you have queries or problems ordering your medication.

Please see our web site www.cliftsurgery.co.uk on how to download the NHS app.

Medication Reviews. Patients on repeat medication will be asked to speak to a doctor, or practice Healthcare professional at least once a year to review these regular medications and a notification should appear on your repeat slip. Please ensure that you book an appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.
