Your Meds Matter – Only Order What You Need
Did you know around £9.6 million is wasted every year in Gwent on unused or unnecessary repeat prescriptions? That’s money, medicines, and care going to waste and we need your help to change that.
Staying Well: Medicines can expire and may not work as they should. Stockpiling can lead to drug shortages, putting others at risk.
Staying Safe: Unused meds at home are a danger to children and pets. They’re prescribed just for you, never share them.
Staying Green: Once medicines leave the pharmacy, they can’t be reused. Hand unused meds back to your pharmacy and help protect our environment
Here’s how you can help:
✅ Check what you already have before ordering more.
✅ Open your prescription bag at the pharmacy and return anything you don’t need before leaving.
✅ Talk to your pharmacy team if your meds have changed or you're not taking something anymore.
Together, we can cut waste, protect our environment, and keep Gwent healthy.
👉 Only order what you need.

‼️ We have had a couple of instances in the Caerphilly borough where members of the public have received a phone call from a company calling themselves VIVIG and offering so called health benefits of a joint supplement. We have checked the number (02033 937661) and it is being used for a Medical Scam ‼️


From the reports we’ve had, the phone caller was quite convincing and also tried to obtain bank details and payment etc.

We would be grateful if you could spare a moment to complete the below survey on your NHS Wales GP Experience
The experience that you received when dealing with the practice is important to us. This might be a face to face appointment with your doctor or another health care professional, a telephone call or another type of practice interaction.
We would be grateful if you could complete this survey so that we can understand your views and experiences. We will ask you questions about your latest experience when dealing with the practice, please help us by giving your honest opinion.
The questions mostly have 4 options and you are asked to tick the answer which best describes how you feel. Some of the questions have ‘not applicable‘, please tick this if the question is not relevant to your experience.
We do not need to know your personal details but have asked some general questions at the end about who you are. This is so we can make sure we are asking all groups of people about their experience.
Please click on the link below to access the survey
Thank you for your time
