If I run out of my prescribed medication and my GP surgery is closed – what do I do? 🤔

If you run out of your regularly prescribed medicine including contraceptives, our community pharmacies offer an emergency supply service.

Your local community pharmacy can provide a small supply, if appropriate, until you can obtain a prescription.

📢 Important Patient Notice – Mask Requirement

Due to a recent increase in respiratory illnesses in our local area, Hywel Dda Health Board has reintroduced mask requirements within healthcare settings.

As a Health Board–managed practice, Ashgrove Medical Centre will now require all staff to wear a face mask in clinical areas or when interacting with patients.

Patients and visitors will also be required to wear a mask in clinical areas.

😷 Masks are available for you to collect at the reception desk upon arrival.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our patients, staff, and community safe.
— Ashgrove Medical Centre

From today, 11 December 2025, we're asking that all visitors and staff in clinical and patient-facing areas wear a face mask to help limit the spread of respiratory viruses.

The number of cases of respiratory viruses within hospitals, and our broader community, is increasing at a steady rate. All staff, regardless of their role, will be required to wear a surgical mask (unless other personal protective equipment (PPE) has been advised) when in clinical areas or interacting with patients.

Visitors will also be required to wear a mask in clinical areas, including to appointments on hospital and community sites.

Read the press release here: https://hduhb.nhs.wales/news/press-releases/face-masks-to-be-worn-on-all-health-board-sites/

11/12/2025

Due to the number of respiratory viruses in our hospitals, we have introduced mask wearing on our sites.

If eligible, it’s not too late to get your flu vaccination. We have community vaccinations clinics in Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire.

Flu can be very serious and having a flu vaccine every year is one of the best ways to protect against flu. If you have any questions regarding accessing your vaccine please contact us on 0300 303 8322 (option 1) or email ask.hdd@wales.nhs.uk
