Annual Reviews – ‘Birthday Clinics’

If you have been diagnosed with one or more of the above conditions, we will write to you around the month of your birthday, inviting you to make an appointment for your annual review.

We hope that you will accept the invitation to attend for your annual review, however if you feel you wish to decline the invitation, please complete and return the slip at the foot of the letter. This will opt you out of review appointments for one year only.

There will still be ‘opportunistic access’ to the clinical team for annual reviews. If you visit Hay or Talgarth surgery and have not arranged your annual review appointment, our staff may invite you to stay to be seen for your annual review when you will be seen by a health care assistant and/or nurse or doctor.

Midwifery Services

This practice offers midwifery services to patients in accordance with current guidance and protocols. The midwife care is lead from Brecon War Memorial Hospital.

A midwife runs a weekly surgery from Hay Medical Centre on a Thursday afternoon – not currently available due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Once a pregnancy is confirmed it is advisable that the patient meets with their local midwife to discuss the pregnancy and the options available for future care which will be individually planned. The first meeting with a midwife will probably last over an hour so that pregnancy related issues can be fully discussed, such as screening tests and all aspects of ante-natal care on offer plus advice on healthy life style.

The first meeting with a midwife can either be at home or at the Birthing Centre at Brecon War Memorial Hospital at a convenient time. The Birthing Centre can be contacted on 01874 622443. Follow up antenatal care with the midwife will be at the surgery by appointment.
