Llynfi Surgery Maesteg

03/11/2025

We appreciate how lucky we are in the Llynfi valley with excellent input from the several pharmacies in the area.

Modern day pharmacies offer a wealth of services that was traditionally only done by the GP. Although the GPs still offer these services, the idea behind this is to allow GPs to delve deeper into complex conditions that often require more time and input for following up and continuity.

If you are worried about getting a quick appointment with the GP don’t forget to ask at your local pharmacist as they have the tools and skills available to prescribe antibiotics where appropriate for UTIs/tonsillitis/ear infections and have a wealth of experience on many other conditions from Allergic Rhinitis (hay fever) to Zoster rash (shingles) and many conditions in between.

Hepatology Advanced Nurse Practitioners will be offering fibroscans - a quick, painless, non-invasive scan that assesses the liver for any inflammation or scarring and looks at how much fat is in the liver. Results are provided at the time, and if further follow up is required, an appointment will be provided.

Free confidential testing for Hepatitis B & C will also be available.

Liver disease is the third biggest killer in the UK, with many diseases that can affect the liver leading to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, liver failure and potentially liver cancer.

Obesity, alcohol misuse and blood borne viruses are some of the contributing factors to the development of liver disease in Wales. Hepatitis B & C are blood borne viruses that spread from person to person by contact with infected blood and/or bodily fluids. Many people show no symptoms and therefore are unaware of their infection. If left untreated these viruses can lead to chronic liver disease.

Obesity increases the risk of developing fatty liver disease. Of the 25% of the UK population categorised as obese, most will have fatty liver disease and many will have scarring and inflammation that leads to cirrhosis.

Drinking alcohol within the guidelines and taking regular breaks from alcohol will help your liver stay healthy.
