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

HGV/PCV Medicals- £110!

We have reduced our price for Heavy Goods Vehicle and Passenger Carrying Vehicle examinations. We believe there are advantages to having your registered medical practice carrying out these medicals as we have full access to your medical record, if there are any queries and we can rapidly arrange any further tests that may become necessary. Please contact reception to arrange an appointment.

Practice Email

Please be aware that our email address is not for clinical enquiries, and any such emails will be returned to sender.

Older People

Older People

At Crystal Peaks Medical Centre, we pride ourselves on providing high quality proactive care to our older patients.

A community specialist diabetes nurse holds a monthly clinic, which is well utilised by our older patients reducing the need to travel to hospital. Where appropriate, the Practice Nurse or GP will refer you, but if there are any matters you feel require specialist input, please alert reception who will pass on your concern to the team.

Community Support Worker

Referrals to the community support worker are targeted at patients who need some extra support to help remain independent, who do not yet meet the threshold for a social care package. Examples of support include taking patient’s shopping, finding and attending social groups with the patient to help prevent social isolation. If you feel yourself or a family member or friend would benefit from a referral to our community support worker, please contact reception who will arrange the appropriate steps.

Patients can also call the community support worker themselves on: 0114 2057120 from 8.45am to 5.15pm Monday to Friday.
