Public Health Wales has written to parents and carers who have children in primary schools in Barry to ask them to ensure that they and their children are extra careful with handwashing, because of an outbreak of Hepatitis A in the town.

This is a viral infection that affects the liver, that in most cases is a mild illness, that most people make a full recovery from without long term health problems.

We are currently migrating to a new clinical system called EMIS Web, which is causing temporary disruptions to the NHS Wales App and other online services.

The practice has now temporarily disabled the NHS Wales App while we undergo processes during this migration. Patients will experience limited access to features and will be temporarily unable to order prescriptions via the App. This disruption will last approximately 1 week overall.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused, and thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
