Care Navigation (Newport GP Surgeries)

We are currently experiencing an unprecedented demand for routine appointments at our surgery. This is mirrored across the Health Board.

As we come out of from the COVID lockdowns and some of our normal services resume, we ask for your patience and understanding as we work tirelessly to find ways to be able to provide you with more GP routine appointments.

The Rogerstone Practice have been able to re-introduce some face to face GP appointments and are looking at options to ensure the safety of our patients and staff members.

We will update our Facebook page every day, when the routine appointments available to be booked that day have all gone, in an attempt to save you from a wait in the telephone calling queue.

We would also like to make you aware of the following alternative services to access:

• NHS 111 online advice
• Choose Pharmacy for common ailments
• Physiotherapy self referral
• Eye care
• Dental services

We will continue to keep you updated

This gives patients access to an appropriate clinician, within 24 hours, for urgent conditions. Same day appointments are bookable by contacting the surgery by telephone between 08:00 and 10:00 if you feel you have an urgent condition that cannot wait for a routine appointment. Please be prepared to give brief details of the reason why you are calling.

Please note that we run a nurse triage system where patients are allocated an appointment with a triage nurse who will assess your symptoms/concerns. Treatment will then be provided either by the nurse or one of the doctors. This will ensure each patient always sees the most appropriate clinician within an appropriate period of time.

Requests for visits should be made before 10.00am on the same day by contacting the surgery. The Health Professional on duty will decide what is appropriate.

This service normally covers only terminally ill, housebound and elderly (frail and limited mobility).

It is important that you inform the reception staff if you are unable to attend your appointment, this will allow that appointment to be offered to another patient. If you fail to notify the Practice that you are unable to attend, you will be sent a letter informing you that you have defaulted from your appointment. Persistent defaulters maybe removed from the list.

You can also complete our appointment cancellation notification request form. This can only be used if your appointment has been arranged for more than 24 hours in advance. (excluding weekends and public holidays). You can also text to cancel your appointment.

We have a texting service which allows you to receive confirmation and reminders about your appointments.

To have this service you will need to register by completing a consent form.

Please remember to update your contact details with us when you change address, telephone numbers and email address.

Please attend your appointment on time, if you are late you may not be seen. If you are not seen you will not be able to rearrange your appointment until the next working day-except in the event of an medical emergency that requires immediate attention.

If you require an interpreter to attend with you when you see your Doctor please notify the receptionist and she will arrange this for you.
