About Forest View Acute

Forest View Acute brings GP care closer to patients living in Tynewydd, Treherbert and the upper Rhondda Valley. Operating from New Tynewydd Surgery on William Street, it forms part of the wider Forest View Medical Centre practice and gives registered patients an additional local site for face-to-face medical care.

Rather than operating as a separate medical practice, Forest View Acute shares its clinical team and patient services with Forest View Health. Patients can be directed to a GP, nurse, pharmacist, healthcare assistant, physiotherapist or mental health professional depending on the nature of their concern.

Across the Forest View practice, available healthcare includes general GP consultations, family planning, vaccinations, cervical screening, chronic-disease reviews, blood-pressure monitoring, pharmacist medication reviews, physiotherapy, menopause consultations, learning-disability reviews, warfarin monitoring, minor surgery and joint injections.

Appointments can be requested online, through the NHS Wales App, by telephone or at reception. Depending on clinical need, patients may be offered a face-to-face appointment, telephone consultation, text-based contact or email communication.

Although the branch is called Forest View Acute, it is not an Accident & Emergency department or walk-in emergency unit. Life-threatening emergencies should be directed to 999, while NHS 111 Wales provides urgent medical advice when the practice is closed.
