Royal Glamorgan Hospital - Ysbyty Brenhinol Morgannwg

💊 Coming into the Royal Glamorgan Hospital? Please bring your medicines with you.

We’ve been busy installing a new pharmacy dispensing robot over the past couple of months – and we’re nearly there. While it will support safer, smoother patient care, there may be some temporary delays while installation is completed.

👉 Take a look at the robot: https://fb.watch/HnSu1ohYqu/

If you’re coming in for a planned visit, please bring all the medicines you take at home – including original boxes/packaging and blister packs.

This includes:
• Prescription medicines
• Inhalers, creams, eye drops
• Insulin and injections
• Tablets, capsules and liquids
• Over-the-counter medicines
• Vitamins or supplements

Bringing your medicines helps us avoid delays, check your treatment accurately, reduce waste, and keep you safe.

We’ll store everything safely and return it when you go home.

If you forget or come in as an emergency, don’t worry, we’ll take care of you. But if your visit is planned, please remember your medicines.

Thank you for helping us during this change. 💙

💊 Ydych chi’n dod i Ysbyty Brenhinol Morgannwg? Dewch â'ch moddion gyda chi.

Rydyn ni wedi bod yn brysur yn gosod robot dosbarthu fferyllol newydd dros yr ychydig fisoedd diwethaf – ac rydyn ni bron yno. Er y bydd yn cefnogi gofal cleifion mwy diogel a llyfn, efallai y bydd rhywfaint o oedi dros dro wrth i'r gosodiad gael ei gwblhau.

👉 Cymerwch olwg ar y robot: https://fb.watch/HnSu1ohYqu/

Os ydych chi'n dod i mewn am ymweliad wedi'i gynllunio, dewch â'r holl feddyginiaethau rydych chi'n eu cymryd adref – gan gynnwys y blychau/deunydd pacio gwreiddiol a'r pecynnau swigod.

Mae hyn yn cynnwys:
• Meddyginiaethau ar bresgripsiwn
• Mewnanadlyddion, eli, diferion llygaid
• Inswlin a phigiadau
• Tabledi, capsiwlau a hylifau
• Moddion dros-y-cownter
• Fitaminau neu atchwanegiadau bwyd

Mae dod â’ch moddion yn ein helpu i osgoi oedi, gwirio eich triniaeth yn gywir, lleihau gwastraff, a’ch cadw chi’n ddiogel.

Byddwn yn storio popeth yn ddiogel a byddwn yn ei ddychwelyd pan fyddwch yn mynd adref.

Os byddwch yn anghofio neu'n dod mewn argyfwng, peidiwch â phoeni, byddwn yn gofalu amdanoch chi. Ond os yw eich ymweliad wedi'i gynllunio, cofiwch eich moddion.

Diolch am ein helpu yn ystod y newid hwn. 💙

National Smile Month 2026 runs from Monday 11 May to Thursday 11 June.

Our Oral Health Improvement teams are hosting stands throughout National Smile Month, promoting the importance of good oral health and tips on keeping your teeth and gums healthy.

If you’re visiting our sites, come along to the following locations and pick up your free samples:

Tuesday 2 June
📍 Keir Hardie Health Park main foyer

Wednesday 3 June
📍 Ysbyty Cwm Cynon main foyer
📍 Ysbyty Cwm Rhondda main foyer

Diet plays a key role in oral health but having a consistent and effective oral health routine is equally important.

National Smile Month is the perfect opportunity to remind yourself of the basics of a good daily oral health routine:

• Twice daily brushing with fluoride toothpaste
• Cleaning between your teeth with interdental brushes or floss
• Visiting your dentist regularly

A balanced diet with healthy snacks and a reduction in sugar intake contribute to strong healthy teeth and helps towards preventing tooth decay.

Remember to stay hydrated with plain water throughout the day.

Mae Mis Cenedlaethol Gwenu 2026 yn rhedeg o ddydd Llun 11 Mai i ddydd Iau 11 Mehefin.
Mae ein timau Gwella Iechyd y Geg yn cynnal stondinau drwy gydol Mis Cenedlaethol Gwenu, gan hyrwyddo pwysigrwydd iechyd y geg da ac awgrymiadau ar gadw'ch dannedd a'ch deintgig yn iach.

Os ydych chi'n ymweld â'n safleoedd, dewch draw i'r lleoliadau canlynol a chasglwch eich samplau am ddim:

Dydd Mawrth 2 Mehefin
📍 Prif gyntedd Parc Iechyd Keir Hardie

Dydd Mercher 3 Mehefin
📍 Prif Gyntedd Ysbyty Cwm Cynon
📍 Prif gyntedd Ysbyty Cwm Rhondda

Mae deiet yn chwarae rhan allweddol mewn iechyd y geg, ond mae cael trefn dyddiol iechyd y geg ac effeithiol yr un mor bwysig.

Mis Cenedlaethol Gwenu yw'r cyfle perffaith i atgoffa eich hun o hanfodion trefn dyddiol iechyd y geg dda:

• Brwsio ddwywaith y dydd gyda phast dannedd fflworid.
• Glanhau rhwng eich dannedd gyda brwsys rhyngddeintyddol neu fflosio.
• Ymweld â'ch deintydd yn rheolaidd.

Mae deiet cytbwys gyda byrbrydau iach a gostyngiad mewn cymeriant siwgr yn cyfrannu at ddannedd iach cryf ac yn helpu tuag at atal pydredd dannedd.

Cofiwch aros yn hydradu gyda dŵr plaen trwy gydol y dydd.

Am ragor o wybodaeth, ewch i www.smilemonth.org

☀️ Coed Ely Solar Farm celebrates double national award success ☀️

Rhondda Cynon Taf’s Coed Ely Solar Farm has achieved national recognition, achieving two prestigious industry awards and securing its status as a leading renewable energy project in Wales!

🏅 The project has been named Renewable Energy Project of the Year at the National Energy Awards 2026 in London, following an earlier success in March, when Coed Ely Solar Farm was awarded the Clean Energy Project of the Year at the National Green Energy Awards in Bristol.

Delivered in partnership with Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board, Stantec and Vital Energi, the Coed Ely Solar Farm plays a vital role in the council’s decarbonisation strategy, exporting approximately 5MW of clean electricity to the national grid. In addition, the project supports local public services through a pioneering power purchase agreement, supplying 1MW of low-carbon electricity directly to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital. This helps to reduce emissions within the healthcare sector while providing a reliable source of sustainable energy.
