The call tonight from GPs across the country feeling the pressure. | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
And Paul Pugh, left brain damaged after an unprovoked attack, | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
renews his plea to understand the consequences | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Stay away from your local doctor's surgery if you have a cough or cold. | :00:19. | :00:39. | |
With cases at a seasonal high they're urging patients to make | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
appointments only if their symptoms become more serious. | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
And all seven of Wales' healthboards have told us that | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
with hospitals feeling the knock on effect, | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
people need to make sure they access the right care. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
Like many GP practices this one in Swansea has seen its waiting room | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
It's a similar picture across Wales as patients are reported to be | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
turning up with common cold symptoms or a cough. | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
Something GPs say they can do nothing about. | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
Patients seem to think that antibiotics will clear | :01:20. | :01:22. | |

With the demand from patients it is more difficult to access | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
It means they have more difficulty getting | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Busy surgeries mean busy hospitals with patients choosing to visit A | :01:37. | :01:42. | |

Christmas and New Year and the winter pressures. | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
What we are asking people is to choose wisely and only | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
call the 999 system if it is a dire emergency. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
The NHS is advising patients to look beyond the hospital or local surgery | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
and find an alternative in an effort to alleviate | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
the growing pressure on the health service. | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
Pharmacies like this one in Cardiff are very much at the front line. | :02:20. | :02:26. | |

freeing up GPs to look after more complex cases. | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
There is capacity for community pharmacies to take on new services | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
We have the flu vaccination programme which pharmacies | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
are providing which is well received by the public. | :02:44. | :02:47. | |

others to think twice about excessive drinking. | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
