Important Information - 30th November 2017
Please note that from February 2018, the local pharmacy will no longer be able to order your repeat prescriptions for you. This process will need to be done by the individual patient. This has been introduced across Calderdale by the Clinical Commissioning Group in an attempt to reduce the amount of wasted medications.
To maintain safety we do not take repeat prescription requests on the telephone but there are numerous ways that you can do this. You can fill in the repeat slip on your last prescription and drop it in at the surgery, you can open your own on-line account to order repeat prescriptions, you can order via the 24 hour automated telephone system, you can text your request to us or you can e-mail your request to us. Please ask the receptionist to details. Thank You for your support

Making It Easier For You Telephone Consultations
We know it can be difficult to get an appointment at your GP surgery.
Part of the reason for this is that many face-to-face appointments are used for problems that could be better dealt with over the telephone.
Similarly, patients who just want to discuss something over the telephone have to queue up for a face to face appointment because they have difficulty getting a telephone consultation.
In response to this, we are introducing a telephone consultation service to help you get the appointment you need much easier.
The surgery will now be offering structured telephone consultations, Monday to Friday mornings. When you call the surgery, if you are offered this service, your details will be taken and a GP will call you back at the pre-booked time. This GP has full access to your records and Beechwood administration services and can organize whatever is needed just as your usual GP does.
If you need to be seen by a GP, the GP you speak to will book you a face-face appointment with a GP at Beechwood Medical Centre later that same day or in a couple of days time if it is not urgent.
Children under 2 and patients with visual conditions such as rashes will be directly booked into a face-to-face appointment, unless you specifically request a telephone call.
If you have any queries about the telephone service, please contact reception.
Thank you for your patience at this time of change, and we hope you find new the new service beneficial.

Important Travel Advice for Patients
Please note that patients travelling to some foreign countries will experience difficulties in obtaining the Hepatitis A Vaccine for administering on the NHS. This is due to a National Shortage and Beechwood Medical Centre is doing all it can to obtain extra vaccines but cannot guarantee the availability. Patients may wish to try and obtain this vaccine privately but the National Shortage is also affecting these services. If you are traveling to a country where this vaccine is recommended then please speak to the Practice Nurse or click this link to check the NATHNAC Travel Advice website https://travelhealthpro.org.uk/
