Our aims are to provide you with the best possible comprehensive medical service. All members of the practice team work closely together and are committed to continuity of care for the whole family.

Urgent message regarding blood samples
Aneurin Bevan Health Board have made us aware that there is a shortage of blood test bottles due to a problem with the manufacturer. This shortage is temporary and expected to last up to 3 months, However, it does mean that some tests for some people will be postponed until the national stocks recover.
Those patients with the highest risk or need will still receive the blood tests they need, but others will have to wait.
If you are due a review at the surgery then we may still carry out parts of this but call you back when we are able to take your blood.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
