Are you deaf or hard of hearing?
Read this important information about the Ambulance Service in Wales
The Welsh Ambulance Service has made a Medical Information card for people who are deaf or hard of hearing
The card will help you give information to paramedics and other emergency staff if there is an accident or emergency
To get a card visit the Deaf and Hard of Hearing section of the website
www.ambulance.wales.nhs.uk
You will need to fill as many details as you can on the card and keep it with you at all times
Remember to give the card to the emergency service when they arrive
[If you fill in the Welsh side of the card please fill in the English side too as the paramedic who helps you may not be able to read Welsh]
The information inside the card will include your name, any medical problems and allergies and any medication you take
If you need to contact the Ambulance service in an emergency you can now contact the Ambulance Service using text messages through a service called emergencySMS . You must be registered to use this service. To join, text the word 'register' to 999. You will get a reply—then follow the instructions you are sent
'Out-of Hours'

NewDoc
Tel: 01244 834 999
The service runs from 6.30 pm week days

Warning!
Beware of anyone who calls on you, informing you that your roof, guttering etc., is in need of repair, that they can see to it straightaway for you. If they offer this service, they for one are very likely not to do the job correctly plus they will charge exorbitant prices, leave well alone as they are more likely to be Rogue Traders. There have been instances of this occurring recently in Glyn Ceiriog.
