When will my GP Practice move to the new development?

Do I need to do anything when I am notified that the surgery I am registered at, Tredegar Health Centre or Glan-yr-Afon Surgery, is relocating to the Bevan Health and Wellbeing Centre?
No. You do not need to do anything.
You will continue to receive care at the existing Tredegar Health Centre and Glan-yr-Afon Surgery premises until they relocate to the new Bevan Health and Wellbeing Centre.
Will my GP still have access to my medical records?
Yes, all patient records are electronic and will be available to staff working from The Bevan Health and Wellbeing Centre.
Where will I be able to park?
The car park for The Bevan Health & Wellbeing Centre is the final phase of the development. To help accommodate parking when the centre first opens, we are moving services into the centre on a phased approach. We have an agreement with the local recreation ground car park (NP22 3NN) a few minutes down the road where patients and staff can park. Please allow additional time to arrive for your appointment to walk to the Health & Wellbeing Centre.
Is there disabled parking available?
There are nine disabled car parking spaces available in the small car park to the right of the building. There is also a dropped kerb as you come out of the car park and a ramp from the pavement to the entrance of the building to make it accessible for those in wheelchairs, mobility scooters and pushchairs/prams.
What services will be available?
The Health & Wellbeing Centre will house two existing GP Practices working independently; Tredegar Medical Practice and Glan-yr-Afon Surgery. The centre will bring a range of services for patients together in one place, including General Medical Services, Community Pharmacy and General Dentist Services, Community Services, Social Care and Third Sector Partners. This development is a fundamental element of the clinical futures model within the Blaenau Gwent Borough, helping the Health Board deliver a wide range of services closer to home for the local community.
Will we have to re-register once the GP Practice has moved into the new building?
If you are already a patient of Tredegar Health Centre or Glan-yr-Afon, you will automatically be transferred to the new building once it is opened.
Are the two GP Practices joining as one?

Will there be a pharmacy in the new building?
