DID YOU KNOW?

There is a Minor Ailments Clinic at Wellness Pharmacy & OSM Clinics that is running this week on Wednesday and Thursday, and they currently have appointment slots available.

The service is designed to provide patients with quick, accessible care for common conditions, while also helping to reduce the day-to-day workload for GP practices by managing appropriate cases within the pharmacy. This means you may have your condition treated quicker than waiting for an appointment at the practice.

Through their independent prescribing clinic they are able to assess and treat a range of conditions on a case-by-case basis, including sore throats, urinary tract infections (UTIs), skin infections, chest infections, and ear infections.

Patients are welcome to access the service directly and appointments can be booked by calling 02920 777026 or via their website: https://wellnesscardiff.co.uk/

There are other pharmacies in the area that may offer this service too, and we are happy to promote all of them to help our patients.

At Wellness Pharmacy in Cardiff, we offer NHS and private services like ear wax removal, weight loss injections, & travel vaccinations.

POLITE REQUEST

We appreciate that getting a routine appointment on the day is favourable to our patients but we do not have an infinite amount to offer and they do tend to get booked quickly.

While we understand it may be disappointing if you cannot be seen for a non-urgent issue on the day, we do have routine appointments to book in advance. If your issue is not medically urgent you should be able to wait for a future dated appointment. If your issue is medically urgent you will be offered an urgent appointment on the day.

Please be mindful of the way you speak to staff if you are unable to secure a routine, on the day appointment. Today we have had several members of staff insulted or been rude to because patients cannot be seen today for a non-urgent matter. This is not acceptable and we politely request that you are courteous to staff and treat them as you would like to be treated.

Thank you.

The first May bank holiday is in less than two weeks' time. Many of the pharmacies across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan will be closed on Monday 4th May.

If you are due your repeat prescriptions around early May, please plan ahead by ordering them as soon as possible, and pick them up before you need them.

**update** the phones are back on

We have an issue with our phone lines this morning, we are trying to rectify this as quickly as possible. The surgery has opened early to allow patients to come in and speak to us directly.
Apologies for the inconvenience

PATIENT NOTICE

The practice will be closed on Tuesday 21st April from 2pm - 6.30pm for planned training with the health board.

During this closure, Out of Hours will be taking over service provision. Please note that this should be used only for emergencies and the practice will be open as normal on Wednesday 22nd April.

Thank you.

If you run out of your medication and your GP surgery is closed, you may be able to obtain a prescription at a community pharmacy under the Emergency Supply Service.

If you are unable to obtain a prescription without a delay and require your medication urgently, a community pharmacist may be able to supply you with your regular prescription-only medicines.

This service is available in emergency situations. We'd always recommend you submit a medication request with your GP practice 7 days in advance to ensure you get the medication you need, when you need it.

For more information, and to find your nearest Community Pharmacy, visit the website.
