This website has been designed to tell you about the practice and the services that we offer. Please read it carefully. We trust that you will find it helpful and informative.

WELCOME TO THE PRACTICE

We are a six-doctor practice covering a large area of the Vale of Glamorgan. Our main base is at the Eryl surgery in Llantwit Major which opened in July 1984, when we moved from Hillbrow next to the Town Hall. The premises have been extended several times, most recently in 2002 when an upstairs waiting area and three consulting rooms were built. We also have modern purpose-built branch surgeries in Rhoose and St Athan. All our premises have easy local parking and wheelchair access.

Eryl Surgery is a training practice which means we have doctors attached to the practice for six month periods. Registrars (doctors in training for general practice) are medically qualified and many have a great deal of hospital experience, their training in the practice being focused on the role of the general practitioner. They are available for consultations in exactly the same way as the other doctors in the practice. On occasions patients may be asked for their permission to video record their consultation. Video recording will only be undertaken with patients' consent and the camera switched off on request.

We cover Llantwit Major, Llanmaes, Sigingstone, St Mary Church, Nash, Wick, Broughton, St Donats, Marcross, Monknash, St Athan, Gileston, Flemingstone, Aberthaw, Boverton, Llancadle, Llanbethery, Rhoose and Penmark.

THE RIGHT OF ACCESS TO PATIENT INFORMATION

The Access to Health Records Act 1990 gave individuals the right of access, subject to certain exceptions, to health information recorded about themselves, and, in certain circumstances, about others, within manual records. The practice policy on Access to Health Records can be obtained from reception.

PATIENT RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Detailed information on patient's rights and responsibilities is available in The Patient's Charter and the White Paper "Putting Patients First". Patients are encouraged to take personal responsibilities for their own health and for dealing with minor ailments. A doctor should only be called out in circumstances of real need. Patients have a responsibility to turn up for appointments or to advise the health service in good time if they cannot attend.
