BUT how did we get here?

The first recorded healer in the practice area was, in the 5^th Century, St. Isan who established his llan or church where he carried our healings at Ffynnon, Llandennis now on the current Llandennis Road, Oval.

 

Just before the Second World War, Dr. Harold Coulthard established a surgery in his house in Heathwood Road and in 1948 took as his partner Dr. Robert Griffiths. In 1958, the practice had expanded and a partnership was offered to their then trainee Dr. Gethyn Thomas. In 1964, Dr. Coulthard unfortunately died and the remaining partners moved across the road to 178 Heathwood Road.
