In the interests of patient and staff safety Hedingham Medical Centre our doors are now locked to all non-essential patient access.
Thank you for the wonderful round of applause we heard ringing out through the villages on the 26th March. We were all moved by both your support for the NHS and for the sense of community pride you are all showing. We are here for you and really appreciate the many offers of help we are getting from our patients. Together we will get through this – keep washing hands, keep 2 metres apart (that’s 6 foot 6 in old money) and keep checking up on friends, neighbours and people who may be alone.
In the interests of patient and staff safety Hedingham Medical Centre our doors are now locked to all non-essential patient access.
Dispensary collections are now possible at the following times:
Castle Hedingham, Falcon Square – 11am-1pm and 2pm to 4pm (You can phone requests through from 9am-11am)
Sible Hedingham, Swan Street -10am-1pm and 2pm to 4pm (You can phone requests through from 9am-1pm)
Patients will be allowed in to see GPs only after they have been assessed by telephone. Nurses will call all patients prior to seeing them and will only see essential appointments.
Medication can be ordered by posting requests through the letterbox, calling or online. Patients will need to ring the front door bell when they collect their meds and will be issued their meds over the front door step.
The Hedingham Medical Centre partners have taken the decision to suspend clinical services at our Great Yeldham branch until further notice, due to the need to contain coronavirus.
All medication will now need to be collected from either the Castle Surgery or Sible Surgery. Please contact us on 01787 461465/01787 460612 if you need to check where to collect your medication from or if you need to book an appointment. Do not come to the surgery unless you have been asked to do so by a GP or Nurse. If you are collecting medication you will need to ring the bell for attention.
Medicines Ordering
Ordering medicines early will disrupt the supply chain of medicines and will contribute to medicine shortages. All pharmacies/dispensaries are working hard to make sure we are prepared for the coming weeks. We will do our absolute best to ensure continuity of supply. Please do not panic or over order medicines………you have all seen the situation with the supermarket shelves and panic buying, we don’t want empty medicine shelves.
