The practice operates an MDT (Multidisciplinary Team) approach, in line with current Welsh Government advice. The MDT consists of GPs, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Practice Pharmacist, Practice Nurses and Health Care Support Workers. All clinical enquiries to the practice are dealt with via a triage system. This service prioritises by clinical urgency. Your enquiry could be dealt with by same day appointment, pre-bookable appointment or by a return telephone call or email message.
Priority is given to clinical need on the day and all children under the age of 16. Patients requiring ongoing treatment and monitoring are usually catered for via clinics. For more information about requesting an appointment, please visit our appointments page.
