Health on holiday

Ceredigion and its neighbouring areas of Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire are served by the Hywel Dda University Health Board.  Help yourself, and the NHS, and use the right service. By choosing well, people will spend less time waiting to be seen and make sure the emergency department is available for those who urgently need it. Help keep Ceredigion safe.


Unwell and unsure what to do? 

Please only call the NHS 111 Wales service (by dialling 111) if your health concern is urgent or you are directed to by the online symptom checker. This will help patients to get the right support and guidance in the right place at the right time. 

The NHS 111 Wales website includes more than 65 symptom checkers and information about local services, and should be everyone’s first port of call before making a phone call. 

Emergency department (A&E)  

Only attend an emergency department if you have a life-threatening illness or serious injury, such as severe breathing difficulties, severe pain or bleeding, chest pain or suspected stroke.

Minor injuries departments (MIU)

If you have a less serious injury, then please visit one of our minor injury units. They can treat adults and children over 12-months of age, with injuries such as minor wounds  or injuries, burns or scalds , insect bites  or foreign bodies in the nose or ear . 

Urgent care but not an emergency 

If you have urgent care needs that cannot wait but are not 999 emergencies, please dial 111 for NHS 111 Wales for health advice and support. The number is free to call, and this service is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. 

Visiting animals

Visiting Ceredigion is a great opportunity to see farm and other animals close up at our farm parks.  Please follow these guidelines.
