Hywel Dda Health Board: Improved neonatal care facilities as part of multi-million development / Gwasanaethau gofal newyddenedigol gwell fel rhan o ddatblygiadau gwerth sawl miliwn

Work on the £25.2 million obstetric and neonatal facilities project at Glangwili Hospital is progressing well having reached some key construction milestones.

This second phase of the redevelopment project will improve facilities for mums, babies and families at the hospital. The scheme includes high dependency cots, special care cots and parent accommodation, as well as birthing rooms and operating theatres. Plans are also in place for additional staff car parking spaces.

The plans will provide a modern environment for the delivery of obstetric and neonatal services at Glangwili Hospital.

Construction works to create a new Labour Ward, located next to the main entrance, are now complete and in January, the Special Care Baby Unit will temporarily move into this area whilst refurbishment is underway to transform their existing space into a new improved unit. This will provide a significant improvement for babies, families and staff until the new permanent unit is available later next year.

Keith Jones, Director of Secondary Care, Hywel Dda University Health Board said: “To enable these necessary works to take place, the Special Care Baby Unit will be temporarily relocated to the newly constructed labour ward, this is just around the corner from our current location and this move will take place on 7 January 2020.

“We wish to reassure people that disruption will be kept to a minimum and local arrangements are being made to ensure families, visitors, our staff and external agencies are kept informed of progress.”

Through the planning phase, staff and service users have been encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas on aspects such as colour schemes and equipment including design themes, wall coverings, floor finishes and furnishings for their new permanent unit.

We wish to reassure patients and visitors that services will continue as normal during the period of these improvements.

Progress updates will be communicated throughout the project.

Gwasanaethau gofal newyddenedigol gwell fel rhan o ddatblygiadau gwerth sawl miliwn

Mae’r gwaith ar brosiect cyfleusterau obstetreg a newyddenedigol gwerth £25.2 miliwn yn Ysbyty Glangwili yn mynd rhagddo’n dda ar ôl cyrraedd rhai cerrig milltir adeiladu allweddol.

Bydd yr ail gam o’r prosiect ailddatblygu yn gwella cyfleusterau i famau, babanod a theuluoedd yn yr ysbyty. Mae’r cynllun yn cynnwys Uned Gofal Arbennig i Fabanod newydd gyda gwell llety a chyfleusterau i rieni, ystafelloedd geni a theatrau llawdriniaethau. Mae cynlluniau ar waith hefyd ar gyfer llefydd parcio ceir ychwanegol i staff.

Bydd y cynlluniau’n darparu amgylchedd modern ar gyfer darparu gwasanaethau obstetreg a newyddenedigol yn Ysbyty Glangwili.

Mae’r gwaith adeiladu i greu’r Ward mamolaeth newydd bellach wedi’i gwblhau ac ym mis Ionawr, bydd yr Uned Gofal Arbennig i Fabanod yn symud i’r ardal hon, tra bod gwaith adnewyddu ar y gweill i drawsnewid eu gofod presennol yn uned newydd. Bydd hyn yn darparu gwelliant sylweddol i fabanod, teuluoedd a staff hyd nes bod yr uned barhaol newydd ar gael yn ddiweddarach y flwyddyn nesaf.

Dywedodd Keith Jones, Cyfarwyddwr Gofal Eilaidd, Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Hywel Dda: “Rydyn ni wrth ein bodd bod gwaith wedi dechrau i wella cyfleusterau ar gyfer babanod, teuluoedd a staff a bydd yr ysbyty’n elwa’n fawr o ganlyniad i’r gwelliannau hyn a bydd y cam hwn yn digwydd ar y 7fed Ionawr 2020.”

“Hoffem sicrhau pobl y bydd aflonyddwch yn cael ei gadw i’r lleiafswm a bod trefniadau lleol yn cael eu gwneud i sicrhau bod teuluoedd, ymwelwyr, ein staff ac asiantaethau allanol yn cael y wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am y cynnydd”

Trwy’r camau cynllunio, anogwyd staff a defnyddwyr gwasanaeth i rannu eu meddyliau a’u syniadau ar agweddau megis cynlluniau lliw ac offer gan gynnwys themâu dylunio, gorchuddion waliau, gorffeniadau llawr a dodrefn ar gyfer eu huned barhaol newydd.

Hoffem sicrhau cleifion ac ymwelwyr y bydd gwasanaethau’n parhau fel arfer yn ystod cyfnod y gwelliannau hyn.

Bydd diweddariadau cynnydd yn cael eu cyfleu trwy gydol y prosiect.
