Please send me your approach to Heavy Metal Poisoning in Adult Unusual but it happens and I need to see the planning in place re one surgery and in all Wales or wherever accessis able. Cross border/Board Care.
Thank you for your recent request.
As you mention, heavy metal poisoning is, thankfully, rare in Wales.
Public Health Wales is not involved in the direct clinical management of cases of actual or suspected heavy metal poisoning, but we do support clinicians to identify any possible sources and to prevent any on-going exposures.
I hope that this helps to answer your query.
Please note that Public Health Wales is the public health service for Wales and as such is an independent NHS Trust. Therefore, as an organisation we have no jurisdiction over the activities of Health Boards and other NHS Wales organisations. This means we do not routinely have access to the data they produce. For the information held by other NHS Wales organisations and Health Boards you will need to contact them individually. I have provided contact details for the Health Boards below.
