📢 September 2025 Practice Activity Update 📢

As part of our monthly reporting, we submit our appointment activity to ABUHB and the Welsh Government.

Every month, over 150 appointments are missed without notice. Missed appointments reduce the number of slots available for other patients who may urgently need them.

If you are unable to attend your appointment, please let us know as soon as possible. You can cancel in any of the following ways:
✔️ By phone or in person at the surgery
✔️ By email: admin.w93029@wales.nhs.uk

Your cooperation helps us free up valuable appointments for those who need them most.

Thank you for supporting us and helping improve patient access. 💙

Did you know men are more likely to develop mouth cancer than women? 🤔

👨 November is Men’s Health Awareness Month and Mouth Cancer Action Month.

Early detection is key – here’s what to look out for:
✅ Ulcer that hasn’t healed after 3 weeks
✅ Lump or swelling lasting more than 3 weeks
✅ Red or white patches inside your mouth

⏰ Take 45 seconds to check your mouth – it could save your life.

If you spot any of these signs, see your dentist immediately.

This World Mental Health Day, we’re focusing on access to services because everyone deserves the right support when they need it.

Being able to reach out and access the right help can make all the difference. Whether it’s talking to a professional, leaning on community resources, or simply knowing support is there, access matters.
