From today, the RSV vaccine is being offered to more people, with the programme expanding to include some adults aged 65–74 with certain health conditions who are at higher risk from RSV. 📢

RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) is a common virus that can cause serious illness, particularly in babies, older adults and people with certain health conditions.

The vaccine helps protect against severe illness caused by RSV. If you receive an invitation, make sure you attend your appointment. 📩

Three-year-old Clover had a very important visit to Barry Hospital this week - getting her hepatitis A vaccine.

Luckily, there were a few familiar faces to make the experience a little more fun! Clover got to meet Tigger from Winnie the Pooh, while Bluey was playing in the background.

Children aged 1 to 5 who live in Barry, or attend a childcare or education setting in Barry, can get a free hepatitis A vaccination without booking an appointment.

Simply turn up at Barry Hospital (CF62 8YH). Clinics are open from 9am to 5pm on weekdays and Saturdays until Saturday, September 5.

Da iawn, Clover! 👏 👏 👏

New Blood Pressure Machine

We have a self-service blood pressure machine in our practice waiting area.

If you require a BP check you may be asked to use the machine instead of booking or attending a clinical appointment.

Using the BP machine helps us to use appointments more effectively whilst ensuring we have an accurate BP reading for your medical record.

If you are unsure about using the machine or need assistance to use the BP machine please ask a member of our reception team who will be happy to assist you.
