Welcome to the AGH.
To advise the Chief Medical Officers in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland on appropriate policies for the prevention and control of viral hepatitis in the community and in health care settings, but excluding advice on the microbiological safety of blood and tissues for transplantation, and of health care equipment.
The Group's views on immunisation measures are to be submitted to the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation. Advice on the restriction of working practices of individual health care workers infected with hepatitis viruses and on the conduct of patient notification exercises are the responsibility of the UK Advisory Panel for Health Care Workers infected with Blood-borne Viruses, working within the policy advice given by the Group.
Within a spirit of openness and transparency, the AGH publication scheme aims to improve access to the material it produces.
