Noticeboard

Out of Hours
Gwent Out of Hours - 111.  For emergencies only: to be used when you cannot wait to see your own GP the next working day. The on-call doctor will return your call to assess your need from the service.  Should you be visited at home please identify your house by switching on your outside light or keeping an eye out for the medic car.

Prescriptions
A minimum of 48 hours notice is required to issue repeat prescriptions and must be received in writing. Tick the items you require on the repeat prescription counter-foil and drop it in the box found on the surgery wall near the main entrance. You may also drop your repeat into your local pharmacy but this may take longer to issue.  Please note we do not take requests for repeat medication by telephone.

 

Fit Notes/Sick notes

For Statutory Sick Pay you will need to self-certify.  You will be covered for the first 6 days, the form may be available via your employer.  The form is also available by visiting www.gov.uk.  Search for a SC2 form, you can then complete the form online before printing the completed form off.

Your employer can not refuse to accept this form.

Continuation fit notes will be provided by your GP.  You must be seen by a GP for a fit note, please make an appointment either by contacting reception or using the My Health Online service.

If you are going into hospital for an operation, and will need a sick note, you will need to ask the hospital to provide you with a sick note.  It is not the GP's responsibility to issue sick notes until patients are discharged from the consultant care at follow up.
