Foundry Town Clinic is currently migrating to a new clinical system called EMIS Web, which is causing temporary disruptions to patient appointments, patient registrations, the NHS Wales App and other online services.
The practice will be temporarily reducing the number of appointments available each day, this includes all pre-bookable and same day appointments for GPs, Practice nurses and Healthcare assistants. This is to allow more allocated time per appointment booking, to ensure patient needs are met and documented appropriately whilst we navigate the new clinical system. This disruption will last approximately 4 weeks.
The Practice has now temporarily disabled the NHS Wales App while we undergo processes during this migration. Patients will experience limited access to features like test results and appointment bookings, 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 co-operation.
The Surgery will have no access to any clinical computer systems today after 12:00pm. As a result, we will only be able to see patients with urgent problems this afternoon.
The Surgery doors will be closing at 6:00pm today, Thursday 2nd April 2026, and we will be closed on the Good Friday and Easter Monday bank holidays (Friday 3rd and Monday 6th April 2026).
The Surgery will re-open as normal on Tuesday 7th April 2026.
Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board have provided us with details of pharmacy opening hours in the area over the Easter period:
If you are aged 75 or over you can have the RSV vaccination.Â
It is recommended to get the vaccine on or shortly after your 75th birthday. Those turning 75 between March and October should aim to receive it by the end of October before winter.
RSV – respiratory syncytial virus – is a common virus affecting the airways and lungs. For most adults and children it causes a mild illness such as a cough or cold and usually gets better on its own. As you get older your risk of serious illness from RSV increases and can lead to pneumonia or even death, especially in those with heart or lung disease or a weakened immune system.
Don’t miss out, please ring the Surgery to make an appointment with one of our Practice Nurses.
