For further information on Chapelfield Veterinary Partnership Ltd, and the variety of services and professional expertise they are able to offer, please call 01603 629046 REGISTERING AS A NEW CLIENTIf you have recently moved to the area, have just acquired a new pet/animal or have decided to change your veterinary practice, the process of registering is very simple. All you need to do is call the Surgery on 01603 629046 (the office number) and inform the receptionist that you would like to become a client and would like to register your animals. They will take all your details, including you animal's and enter them into our computer records. In order to avoid delays and potential compromise to your animal's welfare we would advise you to register with the practice before the need for emergency services. If necessary we will need your consent to contact your previous vets for your animals' clinical notes. MAKING A ROUTINE APPOINTMENTOnce you are registered and accepted as a client of the practice, we will provide routine and emergency services according to our terms and conditions of business. If you wish to make a routine appointment simply call the office during normal hours. For routine services it is advisable to arrange the appointment several days in advance if a specific date is required. Same day appointments for routine visits are normally available but not always possible to guarantee, with the exception of an emergency. Small animal appointments during consulting hours will be allocated at the time of booking and are dependent on availability. Whilst we make every effort to keep all appointments, the nature of veterinary practice means that there are occasions when the vet will have to cancel or re-organise a pre-arranged appointment at short notice to attend an emergency situation, or a different vet from that previously booked to attend may attend. We endeavour to keep you informed of any changes and to minimize any disruption or inconvenience caused by the necessary prioritization of emergency calls. Nurse ClinicsHere at Norwich we run an open surgery for our nurses to cut claws, ID chip, remove sutures, empty anal glands, etc. We can also help tablet pets, weigh them and offer help with diets. Clinic times:Weekdays: 9.00am - 11.00am & 2.00pm - 5.00pm Repeat Prescriptions
If you have a patient who is on long term treatment we are able to provide repeat courses of treatment as long as we carry out periodic re-examinations of the patient in line with the law and at the discretion of the treating veterinary surgeon. We will normally provide repeat treatments for 3 months before we request that a re-check be undertaken. This is a legal requirement to ensure that the patient is suitably fit to continue receiving the current treatment at the appropriate dosage and that the animal can be deemed to be under our care. drug collectionsDispensed drugs can normally be collected from reception immediately following an appointment at the clinic. We receive a daily delivery from our wholesaler which ensures that we have adequate supplies. Special or unusual orders received before 4.30pm are generally delivered the following day. Please give 48hrs notice for repeat prescriptions to ensure the drugs are ready for you to collect at your convenience. Unfortunately we are unable to post prescription drugs. Our dispensary is open from 9 -5pm and closed for lunch between 1 - 2pm. If the item is pre-ordered by yourself, a receptionist can send it for you to avoid a wasted journey. Dispensary Hours: |
