If you have a urinary tract infection (also known as a UTI, Cystitis, a water infection) your local community pharmacy can help under the NHS Common Ailments Service.

If you’re female, aged 16 to 64 and think you have a UTI, a pharmacist can assess you and may be able to offer treatment.

The pharmacist will see you in a private room, assess your symptoms and provide antibiotics if they’re needed.

You don’t always need an appointment, but it’s best to call ahead to check a pharmacist is available. For more information and to see if your nearest pharmacy offers the service, visit the NHS 111 Wales website.

Please note that this service is not suitable for men, those under 16 or over 64, those with recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), or women who are pregnant or have symptoms or underlying medical conditions that may indicate a more complex infection. In these cases, there are additional factors that may complicate diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, it is recommended that care is provided by a trained prescriber, such as a prescribing pharmacist, advanced practice nurse, or GP.

🫀 We’re proud to be the first GP practice in Wales to partner with Calon Hearts to host a large-scale community heart screening programme.

This weekend, more than 250 people will attend fully booked screening appointments at North Cardiff Medical Centre, highlighting the growing demand for accessible preventative healthcare and early detection of heart conditions.

Calon Hearts provides free heart screening for young people aged 15½ to 26 and subsidised screening for adults aged 27 and over.

By working together with Calon Hearts, we hope this partnership will help pave the way for more community-based heart screening opportunities across Wales, bringing specialist services closer to where people live.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this initiative possible. ❤️ Calon Hearts Screening & Defibrillators UK Charity

💙 Carers Week 2026: 8th–14th June 💙

This Carers Week, we are proud to support the national theme of "Building Carer Friendly Communities" and recognise the incredible contribution of unpaid carers in our community.

A carer is anyone who provides unpaid care and support to a family member, friend, or neighbour who could not manage without their help due to illness, disability, frailty, mental health needs, or addiction.

Caring for someone can be rewarding, but it can also have an impact on your own health and wellbeing. If you are an unpaid carer, it is important that you receive the support you need.

If you are registered with our practice and provide regular unpaid care for someone, please let us know. You can find information about registering as a carer, the support available, and useful resources on our website:

📣 Exciting News from the Practice

We are pleased to let our patients know that we will soon be going live with our new Patient Navigation AI system.

This new service is designed to help direct patients to the most appropriate care and support more quickly and efficiently. When contacting the practice, you may notice some changes to the way we ask questions about your request. This helps ensure you are guided to the right clinician or service first time.

The system will:
✅ Help patients access the right care faster
✅ Improve response times
✅ Support our reception team and clinicians
✅ Ensure urgent problems are prioritised appropriately

Patient confidentiality and data security remain a top priority, and the system works within strict NHS information governance standards.

We appreciate your patience and support while we introduce this new way of working and welcome your feedback once the service is live.
