Aneurin Bevan University Health Board

Each year, we're fortunate to have a number of internationally educated nurses join our Health Board. We recently welcomed a group of nurses from India, who are undergoing induction training and are embodying our commitment to compassionate care in a special way. Each morning, these nurses come together in the Royal Gwent Hospital's chapel to pray for their studies, the staff they will be working alongside, and the patients they will soon be caring for. Health Board Chaplain, Dean Roberts, said: "Their dedication and commitment to their work, combined with their faith, have been an inspiring presence for all of us here in the Chaplaincy Team. Their prayers have not only been for themselves, but for every member of our health board community – a beautiful reminder of the power of solidarity, kindness, and shared purpose; something which all can appreciate, whether we share these nurses' faith or not." Good luck to our amazing new nurses!

Bob blwyddyn, rydym yn ffodus i gael nifer o nyrsys a addysgir yn rhyngwladol yn ymuno â'n Bwrdd Iechyd. Yn ddiweddar, croesawom grŵp o nyrsys o India, sy'n derbyn hyfforddiant sefydlu gyda ni ac yn ymgorffori ein hymrwymiad i ofal tosturiol mewn ffordd arbennig. Bob bore, daw'r nyrsys hyn ynghyd yng nghapel Ysbyty Brenhinol Gwent i weddïo am eu hastudiaethau, y staff y byddant yn gweithio ochr yn ochr â nhw, a'r cleifion y byddant yn gofalu amdanynt cyn bo hir. Dywedodd Caplan y Bwrdd Iechyd, Dean Roberts: "Mae eu hymroddiad a'u hymrwymiad i'w gwaith, ynghyd â'u ffydd, wedi bod yn brofiad ysbrydoledig i bob un ohonom yma yn y Tîm Caplaniaeth. Mae eu gweddi nid yn unig wedi bod drostynt eu hunain, ond i bob aelod o gymuned ein bwrdd iechyd – yn atgof hyfryd o bŵer undod, caredigrwydd, a phwrpas a rennir; rhywbeth y gall pawb ei werthfawrogi, p'un a ydym yn rhannu ffydd y nyrsys hyn ai peidio." Pob lwc i'n nyrsys newydd hyfryd!

Yr Athro Tracy Daszkiewicz, Cyfarwyddwr Iechyd y Cyhoedd yng Ngwent sy’n egluro “Mae’n hanfodol bod pawb sy’n gymwys i gael y brechlynnau Ffliw a Covid-19, yn enwedig y rheiny sy’n wynebu risg glinigol, yn diogelu eu hunain rhag y ffliw y Gaeaf hwn drwy gael brechlyn y ffliw am ddim. Mae cael brechlyn nid yn unig yn eich warchod chi, ond mae hefyd yn gwarchod y rheiny o’ch cwmpas.   I’r rheiny sydd â chyflyrau iechyd presennol, megis asthma, diabetes neu COPD, gall y ffliw arwain at gymhlethdodau difrifol, a gall hyd yn oed olygu bod angen triniaeth yn yr ysbyty. Mae’n hanfodol bod unrhyw un sy’n wynebu risg glinigol yn cael eu brechlynnau. Brechlyn y ffliw yw’r ffordd fwyaf diogel ac effeithiol o warchod eich hunain. Er bod rhai yn profi mân sgil effeithiau, gallai dal y ffliw y gaeaf hwn fod yn llawer gwaeth. Peidiwch ag oedi, diogelwch eich hun nawr. Diogelwch eich hun a’ch hanwyliaid y gaeaf hwn drwy gael eich brechlynnau. Byddwn mewn cysylltiad i’ch gwahodd yn fuan. Mwy o wybodaeth yma: https://bit.ly/3ZOAmUq
