Plas Meddyg's gone all hi-tech with the launch yesterday of the myhealthapp My Surgery app. Many of us will find this unnecessary unless, of course, we reach the point where it's quicker to 'talk' to a doctor via the app than book a co…
Now we’ve got That Weekend out of the way, let's return to teeth . We have some costs for alternative provision, should we not be willing to join the Ruthin Dental Practice's scheme or have missed out altogether. The sign on the side of the…
If you're NHS, you cannot get an appointment at Ruthin Dental any more. They simply aren't accepting them. The best you can do is lie that you're in pain. But, even then, they won't necessarily see you. You have to phone every morning …
Yesterday, we mentioned some 'warm words' coming from Ruthin Dental Practice about the recruitment of another dentist . Today, we shall try to put this in context. So, let's assume: The catchment for the practice, including rural areas, is…
Dentistry is something we've taken for granted. Yes, the NHS costs are increasing but it's still a reasonably priced service, for now. The bad news regards dentistry is that all our dentists now including Rhuthun/Ruthin's are businesses th…
The cost of living just went up even more. Better brace yourselves, as Ruthin Dental Practice sells out. Letters now sent to NHS patients on Ruthin Dental Practice's books In the mail today was an invitation to join Ruthin Dental Practice's pr…
The B & M store on Station Road no longer looks shabby or downcast (other than the display frames to the building's right). It's had a paint up w/b July 24th and looks so much better for it. Mind you, the sign that said "Danger We…
Appeared in today's Daily Post were five of Rhuthun/Ruthin's St John Ambulance volunteers. They each made comment on how people could benefit from joining. Phrases such as "new skills" and "meeting new people & friends"…
Rhuthun/Ruthin leisure centre is in the midst of a £1.3mil redevelopment for which permission was gained in January. It includes an extension, additional customer parking and the creation of a new, full size all-weather pitch. All are so-called &quo…
Last month, Plas Meddyg doctors' surgery published the results of a survey into their performance. The actual survey itself dates back to February 2011. When benchmarked against surgeries in the region's Betsi Cadwaladr NHS Trust and also thro…
It wasn't just the good people of Clawddnewydd who have been revealed recently . There was perhaps a less tasteful revelation, last week. The impervious fencing came down for the first time to show the new frontal extension to Plas Meddyg, the t…
But, regrettably, a necessary one. Sorry. Three cheers for the pupils of Ysgol Borthyn in their campaign to rid the Cunning Green of dog dirt, following two stepping in some during a recent walk to the library. And well done the Free Press for takin…
On Saturday, Spaven’s Rhuthun branch had its opening. There’s already a shop in Yr Wyddgrug/Mold. And, given that its more-or-less child focused, it’s just in time for half term. This is in the former Doodles shop, Clwyd Street. Spaven’s is a tradi…
Yesterday morning’s fatal crash near the Vale country club on the A494 east of Rhuthun highlights an issue about ambulance response times in the event of crashes or critical illness. There’s no suggestion in this case that an ambulance arrived late,…
Aelodau cynulliad/assembly members are a little upset they didn’t know about the Llanfihangel bird flu from the start. OK, so they have a country to run. But what about the rest of us? Llanfihangel’s within spitting distance of Rhuthun. Why should AC…
The outbreak of avian flu via chickens on a North Wales small holding, with two workers ill, is dangerously close to Rhuthun. It’s on Hiraethog, between Pentre-Llyn-Cymmer and Llanfihangel-Glyn-Myfyr. Llanfihangel’s only some 12 miles away, as the hen…
