How to book a Grange Medical Practice appointment
Grange Medical Practice separates urgent same-day appointments, routine GP appointments, nurse/HCA appointments and home visits. Use the right route because asking for the wrong appointment type can delay care.
Call 02920 226057 before 10:30am Monday to Friday. These are for urgent medical problems that cannot wait.
Call from 10:30am to 6:30pm. The practice says routine appointments are released exactly 7 days in advance and are first come, first served.
Phone from 8am Monday to Friday or ask at reception. These appointments can include blood tests, B12, smears, ECGs, wound dressings and blood pressure checks.
Call between 8am and 10:30am where possible. Home visits are at the doctors’ discretion and should be requested only if you are housebound or too ill to attend.
The practice says reception asks the reason for your call so patients can be booked with the most appropriate clinician and urgent/vulnerable cases can be prioritised.
Tell the surgery as soon as possible so the appointment can be offered to another patient.

NHS Wales App: what Grange Medical Practice patients can use it for
Grange Medical Practice says patients can access some health services through the NHS Wales App. The app can help you access health information, order repeat prescriptions, view 111 advice and discover blood and organ donor information. You need verified access and should select Grange Medical Practice when prompted.
Order repeat prescriptions
Use the app to view repeat medicines and request the items you need, where the service is available for your account.
View 111 advice
The practice says the app can show NHS 111 advice, but urgent clinical concerns still need 111/999 or the surgery route.
Verify your identity
You may need a fully verified NHS login or valid photo ID to set up access.
Record access
For full GP record access, the practice says you need to request online access from the GP team; otherwise access may be limited.
Grange Medical Practice repeat prescriptions
Repeat prescriptions should not be handled like appointments. The official prescription page says patients can usually collect prescriptions from the pharmacy 3 to 5 working days after ordering, and all requests can take up to 5 working days to complete. Order early before weekends, bank holidays or travel.
| Prescription task | What the practice says | Practical tip |
|---|---|---|
| Order repeat medicine | Use NHS Wales App, or bring the paper request slip to the surgery. | Use exact medicine names and do not wait until the last tablet. |
| Phone/email requests | Repeat prescription requests are not taken by phone or email. | Use the official app or paper slip route to reduce errors. |
| Collection timing | Usually 3 to 5 working days after ordering. | Check with your nominated pharmacy before travelling. |
| Nominated pharmacy | You can choose and change a nominated pharmacy. | Change it in the app/website, at the GP practice or at a pharmacy that accepts repeats. |
| Batch repeat dispensing | Some regular medicines may be suitable through your pharmacy. | Ask the pharmacy that regularly dispenses your medicines. |
| Old medicines | Take them to the pharmacy or surgery. | Do not put medicines in household bins or flush them. |
Grange Medical Practice doctors and listed working days
The official staff page lists the current doctors and their usual days. These can change because of leave, urgent work, training, sickness or rota updates, so treat this as a planning guide and confirm with reception if you need a specific clinician.
| Doctor | Listed availability | Useful patient note |
|---|---|---|
| Dr Jane Fryer | Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday | Ask for continuity if this doctor knows your ongoing issue. |
| Dr Jane Roberts | Tuesday, Friday | Routine preference may not be possible for urgent same-day care. |
| Dr Ian Lane | Monday, Wednesday | Be clear if your request is ongoing or medication-related. |
| Dr Megan Evans | Monday, Wednesday, Thursday | Tell reception if continuity matters. |
| Dr Sally Williams | Monday, Wednesday | Ask reception which day is best for routine follow-up. |
| Dr Rhodri Jones | Wednesday, Thursday, Friday | Friday requests should be made early where possible. |
| Dr Sophia Hough | Wednesday, Thursday, Friday | Preferred clinician requests depend on availability. |
| Dr Annelise Waldron | Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday | Reception may still route you to another clinician if more suitable. |
Clinics, nurses, HCA services and what to ask for
The official appointment and clinic pages mention nursing/HCA services such as blood tests, B12 injections, vaccinations, smears, ECG, wound dressings, blood pressure checks and contraception. The clinics page also describes family planning and health checks.
Test results, result letters and copies
Once a doctor has reviewed your test results, the practice says you can view them in the NHS Wales App, or phone/visit between 9am and 5pm to ask what action is required. If you require a full copy of your results, reception has a request form and the practice says it may take up to a week.
GP-ordered and hospital-ordered tests can have different follow-up routes.
Results are useful only after a clinician has reviewed them and added any action.
Ask what action is required following the test, not just whether a result exists.
The practice says result letters are for arranging a routine appointment and are not results to be worried or concerned about by themselves.
Sick notes, fit notes and extension requests
If you have been off work for 7 days or less, self-certification usually applies. If you need a first fit note after more than 7 days, the practice guidance says a doctor appointment is needed to assess the condition. If it is an extension and you have already seen a GP for the same illness, the practice has an extension form.
| Need | Likely route | Practical note |
|---|---|---|
| Off sick 7 days or less | Self-certification | Ask your employer for their self-certification process. |
| First fit note | Doctor appointment | Explain illness start date and work impact when booking. |
| Extension fit note | Practice extension form where suitable | Use only if it is an additional note for an illness already assessed. |
| Hospital care | Ask hospital team | Hospital teams may need to issue paperwork after hospital treatment. |
Register with Grange Medical Practice
The official registration page says patients must register in person at the reception desk and complete the registration form plus appropriate questionnaire. The practice asks for NHS number, photo identification and proof of address. If you take regular medicine, bring the prescription slip from your previous surgery to make transition easier.
Bring ID and address proof
The practice requests photo ID such as passport or driving licence and proof of address.
Bring NHS number if possible
You may need to contact your previous GP practice to obtain your NHS number.
Protect repeat medicine
Bring your previous prescription slip if you take regular medicines. Do not wait until after moving GP to plan medication.
Check practice area
The practice describes its area as bounded by the rivers Ely and Taff to the west and east, and Western Avenue to the north.
Private letters, medical records and listed fees
Private letters and reports are not the same as urgent NHS care. The official Letters & Records page says requests can take 6–8 weeks for many private letters and reports, and some medicals depend on appointment availability.
| Request type | Listed fee | Listed timing / note |
|---|---|---|
| Short letter | £40 | 6–8 weeks. |
| Detailed letter | £50 | 6–8 weeks. |
| Full medical records | One set free each year; £50 per set thereafter | Up to 30 days. |

| Insurer report | £90 form only; £150 with examination | 6–8 weeks. |
| Private consultation for non-registered/private prescription | £20 per 10-minute GP consultation | Check availability directly. |
Accessibility, interpreter needs, carers and proxy access
The contact page says the premises have wheelchair access, a lift to the upper floor and toilets for disabled patients. It also asks patients to tell reception if hearing or eyesight is impaired. The appointment page asks patients to mention interpreter, access or communication needs when booking.
Mobility access
Wheelchair access, lift access and disabled toilets are listed. Call before travelling if you need specific support.
Hearing or eyesight needs
Tell reception early if hearing, eyesight or communication needs could affect your appointment.
Interpreter support

Quality and inspection note: HIW, not CQC

HIW lists Grange Medical Practice at Bishop Street, Grangetown, CF11 6PG and has published inspection reports for the practice. If you search for “CQC Grange Medical Practice,” remember that CQC is mainly for England; use HIW for Wales.
