Pan fyddwch chi'n sâl, y peth cyntaf i'w ofyn yw..." a allaf ofalu amdanaf fy hun?" Mae yna lawer o ffyrdd o gael mynediad at wasanaethau ac mae hefyd yn bwysig cofio nad gweld y meddyg teulu yw'r opsiwn gorau bob amser. Helpwch Ni i'ch Helpu a darganfyddwch sawl ffordd o gael y gofal iawn, yn y lle iawn, y tro cyntaf. Mân Anhwylderau Cyn i chi drefnu apwyntiad i weld meddyg, ystyriwch a allwch chi helpu eich hun. Os oes gennych beswch, annwyd, cur pen neu fân anhwylder arall ceisiwch drin eich hun gartref yn gyntaf. Dylech ddechrau teimlo'n well ymhen rhyw 1 i 2 wythnos heb fod angen gweld meddyg teulu. Mae ystod eang o feddyginiaethau dros y cownter ar gael i'w prynu. Gallwch ddefnyddio Gwiriwr Symptomau GIG 111 Cymru i wirio'ch symptomau i ddarganfod y camau nesaf i'w cymryd. Mordwyo Gofal Mae Practisau Meddygol ledled Cymru yn gweithredu system o’r enw ‘Care Navigation’ a hyn er mwyn gwneud y defnydd mwyaf effeithlon o adnoddau a sicrhau bod cleifion yn cael eu cyfeirio at y gweithiwr gofal iechyd proffesiynol mwyaf priodol i’w helpu. Pan fyddwch yn cysylltu â ni i drefnu apwyntiad, bydd ein derbynyddion yn gofyn i chi amlinellu'n fyr y rheswm dros eich galwad. Os yw'n ymholiad anfeddygol mae'n ddigon posibl y bydd y derbynnydd yn gallu helpu neu yn hytrach na meddyg teulu, efallai y cewch eich cyfeirio at Nyrs y Practis, ffisiotherapydd, fferyllfa neu wasanaeth allanol arall. Mae gweithio yn y modd hwn yn galluogi adnoddau i gael eu defnyddio yn y ffordd fwyaf effeithlon ac mae'n rhyddhau'r meddygon teulu i ofalu am y cleifion mwyaf anghenus a'r rhai â chyflyrau cymhleth neu ddifrifol y gellir eu trin gan y Meddyg Teulu yn unig. Pwy sydd ar gael yn y practis? Nyrs Practis (PN) Mae Nyrs y Practis yn weithiwr iechyd proffesiynol cofrestredig sy'n gweithio ar y cyd â'r meddygon teulu i reoli gofal ac iechyd ein cleifion. Mae yn asesu, sgrinio, trin ac addysgu cleifion ac yn goruchwylio gwaith y Cynorthwywyr Gofal Iechyd. Cynorthwyydd Gofal Iechyd (HCA) Mae'r Cynorthwy-ydd Gofal Iechyd yn cefnogi Nyrs y Practis a'r tîm clinigol cyfan, gan gyflawni dyletswyddau cyffredinol a gweithdrefnau penodol. Ffisiotherapydd Mae ffisiotherapi cyhyrysgerbydol yn ymwneud â ffisiotherapi'r system gyhyrysgerbydol. Mae hyn yn cynnwys cyhyrau, esgyrn, cymalau, nerfau, gewynnau, cartilag a disgiau asgwrn cefn. Os teimlwch eich bod yn dioddef o gŵyn cyhyrysgerbydol a allai elwa o ffisiotherapi gallwch drefnu apwyntiad trwy ffonio'r dderbynfa. Nid oes angen i chi weld y meddyg teulu yn gyntaf. Cynhelir clinig bob ddydd Llun.

When you are unwell, the first thing to ask is…”can I take care of myself?” There are many ways to access services and it is also important to remember that seeing the GP isn’t always the best option. Help Us to Help you and discover many ways to get the right care, in the right place, first time. Minor Ailments Before you book an appointment to see a doctor please consider if you can help yourself. If you have a cough, cold, headache or other minor ailment try treating yourself at home first. You should begin to feel better in about 1 to 2 weeks without the need to see a GP. A whole range of over the counter medicines are available to buy. You can use the NHS 111 Wales Symptom Checker to check your symptoms to find out the next steps to take. Care Navigation Medical Practices across Wales operate a system called ‘Care Navigation’ and this in order to make the most efficient use of resources and to ensure that patients are directed to the most appropriate health care professional to help them. When you contact us to arrange an appointment, our receptionists will ask you to briefly outline the reason for your call. If it’s a non-medical query it’s quite possible that the receptionist will be able to help or rather than a GP, you may be directed to the Practice Nurse, physiotherapist, pharmacy or another external service. Working in this way enables resources to be used in the most efficient way and it releases the GPs to care for the patients most in need and those with complex or serious conditions which can be treated by the GP only. Who’s available at the practice? Practice Nurse (PN) The Practice Nurse is a registered health professional who works collaboratively with the GPs to manage the care and health of our patients. The PN assess, screen, treats and educates patients and supervises the work of the Healthcare Assistants. Healthcare Assistant (HCA) The Healthcare Assistant supports the Practice Nurse and the clinical team as a whole, undertaking general duties and specific procedures. Physiotherapist Musculoskeletal physiotherapy relates to physiotherapy of the musculoskeletal system. This involves muscles, bones, joints, nerves, ligaments, cartilage and spinal discs. If you feel that you are suffering from a musculoskeletal complaint that could benefit from physiotherapy you can arrange an appointment by phoning reception. You do not need to see the GP first. A clinic is held every Monday. Community Midwife The Midwife provides advice, care and support to women and their families while pregnant, throughout labour and during the period after a baby’s birth. You can be referred by a GP or contact the Midwife directly. To contact, please call 03000 843282. Health Visitor The Health Visitor provides support for children aged 0 to 5 years and their families, with the aim of giving them the best start in life. The health visitor is based at Bala Health Centre. The appointments are arranged directly by the health visitor. To contact her, please call 03000 843025/026. District Nurses To contact the team, please ring 03000 853259.
