The Surgery will be closed on both sites on the afternoon of Thursday 21st May 2026 from 1:00pm for clinical staff training which has been provided by Cwm Taf Morgannwg Health Board across Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr.
From 1:00pm on the 21st May our telephone system will move to an automated message providing contact details for a covering GP Team. This team will only be able to deal with urgent medical problems that cannot wait until the following day. They will not be able to deal with general queries.
Please remember that you should ring 999 for medical emergencies or 111 for NHS health advice.
The Surgery will open as normal from 8:00am the following day, Friday 22nd May 2026.
Foundry Town Clinic is currently migrating to a new clinical system called EMIS Web, which is causing temporary disruptions to patient appointments, patient registrations, the NHS Wales App and other online services.
The practice will be temporarily reducing the number of appointments available each day, this includes all pre-bookable and same day appointments for GPs, Practice nurses and Healthcare assistants. This is to allow more allocated time per appointment booking, to ensure patient needs are met and documented appropriately whilst we navigate the new clinical system. This disruption will last approximately 4 weeks.
The Practice has now temporarily disabled the NHS Wales App while we undergo processes during this migration. Patients will experience limited access to features like test results and appointment bookings, and will be temporarily unable to order prescriptions via the App. This disruption will last approximately 1 week overall.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding and co-operation.
The Surgery will have no access to any clinical computer systems today after 12:00pm. As a result, we will only be able to see patients with urgent problems this afternoon.
The Surgery doors will be closing at 6:00pm today, Thursday 2nd April 2026, and we will be closed on the Good Friday and Easter Monday bank holidays (Friday 3rd and Monday 6th April 2026).
The Surgery will re-open as normal on Tuesday 7th April 2026.
