Important Information

Arriving Late ?

We are seeing large numbers of patients arriving late for their appointments recently.  Please note that if you arrive more than 10 minutes late for your appointment you will not be able to be seen.  You will need to rebook a further appointment.

Unprecedented Demand

Due to unprecedented demand on our services, we are currently experiencing a high number of calls and telephone waiting times may be longer than usual.

You should always consult with NHS 111 by phone or online and used their symptom checkers and guidance, or contact your local pharmacy who can provide advice and treatment free of charge for many medical conditions BEFORE requesting an appointment to see or speak to a GP, as many problems can be treated using these options.  For dental and eye problems, you should contact your local community dentist or optician respectively.

The surgery is taking part in a project across the Cardiff South West Cluster to increase the uptake of HIV testing.  This involves send a text message to all patients over the age of 16 whose number we hold on record.  The text message will include a link to request a free, confidential test kit which will be sent by post.
