How to Access the Service

Cardiff & Vale Health Inclusion Service (CAVHIS) are notified when someone new has arrived in Cardiff or the Vale of Glamorgan.

If you are new to the area and need healthcare:

• CAVHIS will send you a letter in your own language.
• The letter will invite you to come to the CAVHIS clinic.
• You will be offered a health check (called an Initial Assessment).

This helps you get the health care you need while you are waiting for a decision on your asylum claim.
