We’re really sorry, but our database systems are currently down. Unfortunately, we’re unable to access any patient notes or appointments until the issue is resolved.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

Thank you,

🌟 ATTENTION PATIENTS 🌟

As many of you are aware, we will be changing over to a new system at the start of December.

To ensure a smooth transition and that no one is left without their medication during this time, we kindly ask that you order your prescriptions in advance.

➡️ Please note: we will be issuing two months’ worth of prescriptions in advance, which will be sent directly to your nominated pharmacy. This will be a November and a December script.

This will help us manage the system changeover week, when our systems will be temporarily unavailable.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this process, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you for your co-operation 💙
— Practice 1, Keir Hardie.

Each year, over 25,000 2 and 3 year olds in Wales are protected against flu through the nasal spray vaccine.

Getting your child vaccinated through a flu nasal spray is a safe and effective way of protecting them from serious illness.

Make sure your child gets vaccinated against flu to help keep them healthy this winter.

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.

Events will take place at the following venues:

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.
