Appointments at Ty Elli
Self-help and self-care first
Do you really need a doctor’s appointment?
Before you make an appointment, it is important to consider what type of health issue you are dealing with. If you are experiencing minor aches and pains, it may be possible to self-treat at home.
Home remedies such as taking a hot shower, using a heating pad, or applying a cold compress can help alleviate the symptoms.
Over-the-counter medications such as paracetamol or ibuprofen can also be helpful. If you decide that home treatment is not enough, then you should consider making an appointment with your doctor. However, if you are dealing with a minor condition, such as a cold or a mild headache, you may want to consider visiting your local pharmacy first.
NHS 111 provides a simple online symptom checker – why not use this in the first instance to see if you can take steps to help yourself at home.

If you cannot administer self-care, please contact the surgery to book an appointment.

We endeavour to minimise patient waiting times to see a Clinician but there are occasions, especially if you are an extra to a surgery that you many encounter a longer than expected wait. We thank you for your patience as we try and help all our patients as best, we can.

Blood Pressure Reading
Add as many past readings as you are able. This will give the clinician a better idea of your blood pressure overtime. If the reading is dangerously high, you should repeat it immediately and if it remains above 180/110 urgently contact NHS Direct on 111, or the surgery. If the reading is dangerously low, you should repeat it immediately and if it remains below 80/50 urgently contact NHS Direct on 111, or the surgery.
