The Welsh Ambulance Service has launched a new Medical Information Card for people who are deaf and hard of hearing.The purpose of the card is to aid communication between the deaf person and the ambulance staff in the event of an emergency. The cards will contain personal information as well as information about a person’s medical history, medication, allergies etc.

Interpreter services

If you are hard of hearing and require the services of an interpreter for your consultation, we can organise this through the Wales Council for the Deaf. Please request this service when booking your appointment. We have a hearing loop at reception so please indicate to a receptionist if you would like to use this to make it easier for you to communicate.

In addition, we can arrange for communication between you and the practice to be by SMS or email if that would be of help.
