Very excited to announce the 1st Paediatric South East Wales Polyposis MDT clinic took place yesterday. A great one-stop shop for this cohort of patients to avoid multiple appointments with various members of the multi-disciplinary team.

This promises to be a brilliant session and we welcome anyone who would like to log on and learn more about the best way to support young adults living with IBD

[South Wales Paediatric Gastroenterology SWPGHAN @SWPGHAN]

Dr Wahid reminding us that building a rapport with patients is the key to paediatric medicine. Great doctor shame he is so awful at computer games 😝

[South Wales Paediatric Gastroenterology SWPGHAN @SWPGHAN]

He has only gone and got his first Welsh cap!!!! Massive congratulations and all the luck in the world to the boss, Dr Wahid, who will be making his debut on the cricket pitch today for Wales. We are all so very proud of you! #smashingit

[South Wales Paediatric Gastroenterology SWPGHAN @SWPGHAN]

Today our fabulous nurses dressed in purple and spent their lunch break here, in outpatients, helping to raise awareness of Crohn’s & colitis on world IBD day. Showing support to the strong resilient courageous children they care for.

Great to hear about paediatric IBD incidence data from Cardiff.

Super presentation at #ESPGHAN23 and huge increases in patient numbers. Important for service planning and patient management

🩸Lots of #bloodglucose chat at the moment

🥳 Exciting. We have live data that shows the impact of food on our bodies. BUT…. So what????

👧 My data from 2018.

🗻There is no such thing as a flat line

🥗Some foods led to rises however running up hills lead to more rises

[South Wales Paediatric Gastroenterology SWPGHAN @SWPGHAN]

Life is always better with an alpaca and good news the boss @Amarwahid81 agrees, so looking to get some for the gastro department 😉

[Anna Pigott 🔶 @ajpigott_anna]

Best question I’ve been asked as CD, are alpacas allowed to visit PICU… ?

#SwallowingAwarenessDay #Dysphagia

[South Wales Paediatric Gastroenterology SWPGHAN @SWPGHAN]

In aid of swallowing awareness day this year, our SLT, Nicky decided to experience FEES (Fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing). Quick and simple for staff unpleasant and scary for little ones. Putting ourselves in our patient’s shoes to experience ’routine’ procedures

This month is #FibreFebruary. Dietary fibre provides many health benefits, for people of all ages. Our fact sheet explains why fibre is important, and some of the best fibre rich food choices: https://t.co/RPnN80LKW6

[South Wales Paediatric Gastroenterology SWPGHAN @SWPGHAN]

Joined by @dietitianwales from @CAVCYPDiabetes we set off in relatively nice weather but the cloud, the rain and wind arrived still we did it. Now it’s time for members of the team to decide if they can do 2 more peaks all within 24 hours

[South Wales Paediatric Gastroenterology SWPGHAN @SWPGHAN]

We want to raise money to enable us to hold education days for our gastro children. We were wondering if we could do the 3 Welsh peaks in 24 hours. Sitting in the office and talking about it, it’s sounds easy so to test the waters we walked Pen Y Fan with 3 dogs and 2 children. .
