Monthly GP Activity Data

There has been a lot of comment in the media on “when will my GP surgery open again?”

We want to reassure you that at Bron-Y-Garn Surgery we have been open throughout and have been busier than ever before”.

Our standard consultation is “face to face” but if you’d prefer a telephone call instead just let us know. Although things have changed slightly in the way we offer appointments; we encourage routine appointments to be pre-booked ahead with urgent/emergency problems being dealt with on the day. General practice appointment bookings reached record highs over the winter of 2021 and this has continued to increase and we are expecting a busy winter. To manage this demand, you may be advised to visit another healthcare professional in the way of the pharmacist, physiotherapist or optician. We understand you may feel frustrated but the health service has been overwhelmed which has continued post Covid and we are doing our best as a practice to manage this overload. We want to thank all our patients for their support with these changes.

Here is our monthly activity information. As you can see each month there are a lot of appointments where a patient "Did Not Attend". If you cannot make your appointment, we politely ask if you could let us know. The easiest way to do this is to phone our cancellation line on 01656 812975 and leave a message (you can save this number to your phone as it’s a different number to the practice). Help us to help everyone.
