Our Medical Director, Dr James Calvert, warns that next week's BMA Junior Doctor strike could have a significant impact on hospital waiting times โ and has urged local residents not to attend hospital unless it is completely essential.
Having had Breast Cancer twice, Glenda was the Patient Representative for the Breast Unit at Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr and was able to offer a patientโs point of view throughout the planning process.
This week, she stepped into the unit for the first time โ hereโs what she had to say.
@PengamSchool@RacMcCarthy Thank you all- the art work is displayed very proudly in the unit. Thank you also to the children who attended the unit, their behaviour was outstanding and they did the school proud
We are proud of our KS2 children who created a Well-Being collage which is now on display in the new Breast Unit at Ystrad Fawr! Diolch @RacMcCarthy for your artistic guidance!๐๐
Had another sneak preview of the new Breast Unit at YYF today ahead of the first patients arriving tomorrow. Teams are freakin awesome and have put so much into creating the best environment and facility. Itโs been a long time coming!
Our brand new Breast Care Unit opens Monday!
THANK YOU to our kind communities for raising ยฃ250,000 of additional funds to help us make the unit feel more comfortable and less clinical.
Unit Manager, Sian, has an update on the additions we've been able to make with those funds.
Another birthday without you Emmy, yet you are still very much part of my thoughts, especially this time of year. Happy birthday beautiful- keep shining brightly ๐๐โจโญ๏ธ๐ x x

Some of our KS2 pupils used a variety of mediums and techniques to create this beautiful butterfly mural for Mrs Capel to be hung in the new Breast Centre at Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr๐ฉท @AneurinBevanUHB Diolch Mrs McCarthy ๐ฆ ๐
@PengamSchool@RacMcCarthy@AneurinBevanUHB Absolutely beautiful piece of artwork- we were stunned at how amazing it is. Looking after it safely now until we can formally hang it in the unit, excited to invite you down to see it displayed. Thank you again @RacMcCarthy - you did good!
