Welcome to Tonyfelin Medical Centre Online

Situated at the centre of Caerphilly close to the castle, the practice provides general medical services as well as a range of other medical services.

These include clinics for the management of chronic diseases such as asthma and diabetes and a wide variety of other medical services including antenatal and postnatal care, minor surgery, childhood vaccinations and well-person check-ups.

In addition, the practice is a teaching practice, teaching 1st and 3rd year medical students on a regular basis. The practice also participates in research studies, where we believe our participation will result in benefits to patients.

You can book a routine appointment with a GP on-line. You will need to register at the practice for this service and will need to bring in a photo-ID, i.e. new-style driving licence or passport in order to register and receive secure log-in details. Once registered, please click on 'Access the appointment system' below. For further details, please see our 'On-line appointments' page within 'Appointments'.

If you have a minor eye condition eg. conjunctivitis, please visit an optician rather than the GP. The practice can issue you with a prescription for any medication the optician may consider necessary.

NHS choose well campaign

The Choose Well campaign is designed to provide information to the public about the range of NHS and other services, which are available as alternatives to attending the Emergency Department or dialling 999. Please see below for further information.

Morning routine appointment booking

In response to comments we have received on our appointment system, we are trialling a change with effect from Monday 5 March. Routine morning appointments will be available to book for the full week ahead from that date rather than just the following morning. We are continuing to review the appointment system and will consider implementing further changes following our review.

On-line appointment booking - MyHealth Online.

We apologise for continuing problems with our on-line appointment booking system. Our systems suppliers are very aware of the problems we have been experiencing in providing a satisfactory service and are continuing to investigate the problems. We hope that you will bear with the service and hope to be able to inform you soon that the problems have been resolved.
