Pont Newydd Medical Centre

Pont Newydd Medical Centre provides comprehensive NHS primary care from its Aberrhondda Road surgery in Porth. The practice supports patients through routine appointments, urgent same-day assessments, telephone consultations, ongoing condition reviews and referrals to other healthcare services when more specialist treatment is needed.

The clinical team includes GP partners, salaried doctors, nurses, healthcare assistants, clinical pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. As a teaching practice, Pont Newydd also supports medical students from Cardiff and Swansea universities as well as qualified doctors completing specialist GP training. Patients can ask not to have a student present during their consultation.

Alongside general GP care, the centre runs a variety of clinics and services. These include childhood immunisations, minor surgery, joint injections, long-term condition monitoring, first-contact physiotherapy and support relating to mental health, alcohol or substance misuse. A pharmacy is attached to the building, allowing patients to have prescriptions dispensed on site.

Appointments can be arranged by telephone, while selected non-urgent appointments, repeat prescriptions and patient-record services are available through the NHS Wales App. Urgent cases may be assessed on the same day, and the practice states that children under 16 presenting with an acute illness can receive a same-day consultation.
