Appointments & Prescriptions

Appointments

Our surgeries in Llay and Rossett are open but to make sure they remain as safe as possible, please do not attend without an appointment. We ask all patients to use the telephone, email or eConsult in the first instance. We take calls from 8am to 6.30pm each day.

GP appointments

Our telephone lines open at 8am for patients to request an on-the-day telephone consultation with a doctor. All appointments are initially over the telephone. We can offer video consultations and the ability to send us pictures by text message, which means that most issues can be dealt with remotely. If a doctor needs to see you face-to-face after the telephone consultation, they will give you a time to attend a surgery. All face-to-face appointments are currently in Llay Health Centre or Rossett Surgery.

The telephone lines open for on-the-day bookings at 8am each day and are often allocated quickly. If our lines are busy, the telephone system will ask you to hang up; your place in the queue will be saved and it will automatically ring you back when you near the front of the queue.

We encourage all patients who are able to do so to use our eConsult system. This system triages your request, and allows the doctors to more efficiently deal with your problem.

Nurse appointments

Advance nurse appointments can be booked for smears, vaccinations, hormone injections, blood tests, blood pressure checks and chronic disease reviews. Please contact Reception.

Emergency appointments

If you need to see a doctor in an emergency, telephone our Patient Line on 03333 323 260 and a receptionist will triage your call. This will require you to give some details to our trained reception team.

If you are experiencing severe chest pain, collapse, severe breathing difficulties, have one-sided weakness or slurred speech or severe bleeding, please ring 999 immediately.

Medical advice

You can do the following:

Out of hours appointments

Our telephone lines close at 6.30pm. Outside of our opening hours, the GP Out of Hours Service (commissioned by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board) is in operation. They can be contacted on 0300 123 5566

Home visits

If you are house-bound and cannot reach the surgery through other means, you can request a home visit by one of our GPs by telephoning the Patient Line before midday.

Please remember that several people can be seen in the surgery in the time that it takes to make a home visit, so we ask patients to request one only if they are genuinely unable to attend in person. We can arrange a telephone or video consultation with a doctor upon request.

A doctor will ring you to discuss your problem before attending, and we may arrange for our Urgent Care Practitioner to visit you.

Prescriptions

We can send prescriptions directly to a nominated pharmacy. Please speak to one of our Reception staff to advise us of your choice.

Prescription requests ordinarily take 48 hours to be processed and sent to your nominated pharmacy.

Please note that to avoid errors in medications, we do not take prescription requests over the telephone.

Dispensing patients

If you live remotely from a community pharmacy, you may be eligible to register as a dispensing patient with us, which means that our Dispensary in our Rossett branch surgery can dispense medications directly to you. If you would like to be considered for this service, please contact us
