We have an appointments system at the surgery; please ensure you book a separate appointment for each person wishing to see a doctor.
We run all our surgeries by an appointment only system. The earlier half of the a.m. surgery we have routine appointments bookable in advance, the latter half of the a.m. surgery we have appointments bookable on the day. The earlier half of the p.m. surgery are bookable on the day. The latter half of the p.m. surgery we have routine appointments bookable in advance.
The telephones are switched over from the Out of Hours Service at 8.00am and patients should contact the surgery at this time for a “book on the day” appointment. Alternatively appointments can be booked in person at the reception desk.
You can book appointments in advance on ‘My Health online’ website (forms to Register for My Health online are available from the surgery). You may now also request to book routine appointments via e-mail to receptionist.w97067@wales.nhs.uk Urgent Appointments
Urgent cases that cannot wait until a routine appointment is available will either be triaged by the doctor or when needed offered a same day appointment.
Please remember that if you are fitted in as ‘extra’, this is in addition to the doctor’s full list of booked appointments: therefore there will only be sufficient time to discuss the urgent problem.

You only need a doctor’s note if you are unable to work and are ill for longer than seven calendar days. Your employer will provide you with an SC2 self-certificate form for shorter periods of illness.
You should get a fit note from the doctor who is treating you. This will usually be your GP, but if you are getting treatment in hospital you should ask for one from your hospital doctor (if you don’t already have one) Your GP will not issue a Fit note. The only exception to this rule will be if you have been admited to A&E. Fit notes can either be handwritten or printed, but must be signed by a doctor. Duplicate fit notes can only be issued if the original has been lost.
The fit note is classed as advice from your doctor. Your employer can decide whether or not to accept it, and your doctor cannot get involved in any disputes between you and your employer.

Since our telephones are very busy in the early morning, we ask you to telephone for test results (eg blood, urine, x-ray) after 10:30 each day.
To ensure confidentiality, we only release results to the patient, unless alternative arrangements have been agreed in writing.
