Noticeboard

Which service, when?

Inappropriate A+E attendances for problems that are neither emergencies nor related to acute injuries from accidents, cause delay in assessment for those who have genuine need. NHS Sheffield is keen to help you choose the right service for your needs at the time, i.e "the right place at the right time". That might be, self-care, pharmacist advice, walk-in-centre, GP (including urgent access as at Crystal Peaks MC),or out of hours GP service. In order to facilitate that, there is some guidance available in our further information list. Please help by accessing the right service at the right time. This is especially important in the winter months when the health service is under additional pressure. Thank you

Your Data Matters to the NHS

Following the introduction of the new General Data Protection Regulations on 25th May 2018 the NHS introduced the National Data Opt-Out Programme. It is a new service that permits patients to opt out from the use of their confidential patient information for purposes of research and planning.

Greener Practice Initiative

A group of South Yorkshire General Practitioners recognise that Climate Change is a health issue as it affects the fundamental determinants of health. By working together to mitigate against its effects, we can improve the resilience of people, patients, communities and the health care system. We aim to develop and support win-win initiatives that help our local general practice community to engage in greener practice

Here at Crystal Peaks Medical Centre we are participating in the Green Impact Scheme.
