We are continuing to experience difficulties in filling some of our Out-of-Hours rotas in Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire this weekend due to GP shortages. As always, efforts are continuing until the last possible moment, however you may experience a limited service in these counties for which we would like to apologise.
If you are unwell out of hours during the evenings and weekend you can do a number of things:
- for health information and advice, including online symptom checkers, please visit NHS Direct Wales: www.nhsdirect.wales.nhs.uk
- call 111 (Carmarthenshire only) – they can help to signpost you to the right service, for example a GP, nurse, pharmacist or Minor Injury Unit, they also provide health information on a wide range of conditions for self care if appropriate
- use your community pharmacy, some of these have enhanced services like ‘triage and treat’ for treatment of minor conditions
- ONLY in an emergency for serious or life-threatening conditions should you dial 999
Rydym yn parhau i brofi anawsterau gyda llenwi rhai o’n rotas tu-allan-i-oriau yn Sir Gaerfyrddin a Sir Benfro y penwythnos hwn oherwydd prinder meddygon teulu. Fel bob amser, byddwn yn ymdrechu tan y funud olaf un, ond efallai y byddwch chi’n profi gwasanaeth cyfyngedig yn y siroedd hyn, a dymunwn ymddiheuro am hyn.
Os ydych chi’n sâl tu allan i oriau dyda’r nos a’r penwythnos, gallwch wneud nifer o bethau:
• am wybodaeth a chyngor iechyd, yn cynnwys gwiriwr symptomau ar-lein, trowch at Galw Iechyd Cymru: www.galwiechydcymru.wales.nhs.uk
• ffonio 111 (Sir Gaerfyrddin yn unig) – gall y gwasanaeth hwn helpu eich cyfeirio at y gwasanaeth cywir, er enghraifft Meddyg Teulu, nyrs, fferyllydd neu Uned Mân Anafiadau, mae hefyd yn darparu gwybodaeth iechyd ar hunan-ofal ar gyfer ystod eang o gyflyrau, os yw’n briodol
• defnyddio fferyllfa gymunedol – mae gan rai o’r rhain wasanaethau ychwanegol megis ‘brysbennu a thrin’ ar gyfer trin mân gyflyrau
• DIM OND mewn argyfwng ac mewn cyflwr difrifol sy’n bygwth bywyd y dylech ffonio 999
