Fasting Glucose or Cholesterol Blood Tests

If your doctor or nurse informs you, that you need a glucose or cholesterol blood test — you are required to fast beforehand. Fasting means nothing to eat or drink after 21:00 the previous day except water, unless told otherwise.

Minor Surgery

Dr Neil James and Dr Andy Dalrymple perform Minor Surgery clinics at the Rhymney site.

We can perform the removal of moles, cysts, toe nails and other minor procedures. A doctor’s appointment must be made first to check the problem, then your name will go onto a waiting list and an appointment will be allocated.

Nursing Services

Our nurses continue to develop our nurse-led services. They take a lead role in managing chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease & warfarin therapy.

Minor illness and treatment room clinics (e.g. dressings, ear-syringing etc.) are run daily by the nurses.

Well Woman and Travel clinics are run weekly.

The Practice nurses also offer health education to help maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Phlebotomy Clinics are held every day in Rhymney and New Tredegar. These clinics are held from 08:30 - 12.00 in both surgeries.
