There are a wide range of agencies that aim to promote health in Wales. These agencies will focus upon different areas of health and can be government run or voluntary organisations, such as charities. They include:

• The National Health Service (NHS)
• Public Health Wales (part of NHS Wales)
• Local Authorities, including schools
• National, local and third sector organisations, such as the Family Planning Association, British Heart Foundation, British Nutrition Foundation.

Mae amrediad eang o asiantaethau yn ceisio hybu iechyd yng Nghymru. Bydd yr asiantaethau hyn yn canolbwyntio ar feysydd iechyd gwahanol a gallan nhw fod yn sefydliadau sy’n cael eu rhedeg gan y llywodraeth neu fudiadau gwirfoddol, fel elusennau. Mae’r rhain yn cynnwys:

• Y Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol (GIG)
• Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru (rhan o GIG Cymru)
• Awdurdodau Lleol, gan gynnwys ysgolion
• Mudiadau cenedlaethol, lleol a’r trydydd sector, megis y Gymdeithas Cynllunio Teulu, Sefydliad Prydeinig y Galon, Sefydliad Maetheg Prydain.

The NHS covers the whole of the U.K. and has a major role in promoting the health of the population. The NHS provides diagnostic services and treatments for various health conditions. If an individual is diagnosed with a condition, appropriate advice and treatment would be offered in order to try and maintain the individual’s health and well-being.

The NHS also offers health promotion services (Public Health Wales) and advice to try and encourage individuals to make healthy choices and to prevent ill health. This can include advice and services about issues such as:

• mental health and well-being
• healthy eating
• sexual health
• alcohol and drugs
• oral health.

Mae’r GIG yn ymdrin â’r Deyrnas Unedig i gyd ac mae’n chwarae rhan fawr i hybu iechyd y boblogaeth. Mae’r GIG yn darparu gwasanaethau diagnostig a thriniaethau ar gyfer gwahanol gyflyrau iechyd. Os bydd unigolyn yn cael diagnosis o gyflwr byddai cyngor a thriniaeth briodol yn cael eu cynnig er mwyn ceisio cynnal iechyd a llesiant yr unigolyn.

Mae’r GIG hefyd yn cynnig gwasanaeth hybu iechyd (Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru) a chyngor i geisio annog unigolion i wneud dewisiadau iach ac i atal afiechyd. Gall hyn gynnwys cyngor a gwasanaethau am faterion fel:

• iechyd meddwl a llesiant
• bwyta’n iach
• iechyd rhywiol
• alcohol a chyffuriau
• iechyd y geg.

Name some of the advice and services that The NHS health promotion offers.

Councils have been given a leading role to reduce health inequalities and premature deaths and improve health and well-being.

They are required to tackle the cause of ill health, reduce health inequalities and commission services that address the needs of the local population; particularly the health needs of the disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, as well as giving consideration to equality issues.

Mae cynghorau wedi cael rôl flaenllaw i leihau anghydraddoldebau iechyd a marwolaethau cynamserol a gwella iechyd a llesiant.

Mae’n ofynnol iddyn nhw fynd i’r afael ag achosion o iechyd gwael, lleihau anghydraddoldebau iechyd a chomisiynu gwasanaethau sy’n rhoi sylw i anghenion y boblogaeth leol; yn benodol, anghenion iechyd grwpiau dan anfantais a rhai sy’n agored i niwed, yn ogystal ag ystyried materion yn ymwneud â chydraddoldeb.

Access the resources available to borrow when running healthy living campaigns at local authority level.

Only four resources can be borrowed at any one time.

Meddyliwch am y materion yn eich awdurdod lleol, penderfynwch pa ymgyrch iechyd fyddech chi’n ei rhedeg ac esboniwch pa adnoddau fyddech chi’n eu benthyg a sut rydych yn credu y byddan nhw o gymorth.

Schools promote health by providing health education through both the formal curriculum during lesson times and through the informal curriculum, such as through assemblies. Through the formal curriculum, classroom-based topics might include: healthy eating, mental health and well-being and sexual health. Through the informal curriculum, topics such as road safety may be addressed, for example through having an assembly on road safety.

Teachers and lecturers can encourage positive attitudes and healthy living and give advice on general well-being. They can carry out classroom activities to promote health, such as projects on diet and physical education.

Public Health Wales believe that teaching and learning can help an individual build the knowledge and skills they need to grow into healthy individuals through:

• Knowledge – basic facts (e.g. how the human body works; the NHS and other services: wider influences on health and well-being)
• Knowledge – topic or theme specific (the effect of smoking on the body; nutrition)
• Skills – cross cutting (assertiveness; conflict resolution; risk assessment and management)
• Skills – topic or theme specific (physical skills or practical food preparation).

Mae ysgolion yn hybu iechyd drwy ddarparu addysg iechyd drwy’r cwricwlwm ffurfiol yn ystod gwersi a thrwy’r cwricwlwm anffurfiol, megis yn ystod gwasanaethau. Fel rhan o’r cwricwlwm ffurfiol, gallai testunau a drafodir yn yr ystafell ddosbarth gynnwys: bwyta’n iach, iechyd meddwl a llesiant ac iechyd rhywiol. Fel rhan o’r cwricwlwm anffurfiol, gellid rhoi sylw i bynciau fel diogelwch ffyrdd, er enghraifft drwy gynnal gwasanaeth ar ddiogelwch ffyrdd.

Gall athrawon a darlithwyr annog agweddau cadarnhaol a byw’n iach a rhoi cyngor ar lesiant cyffredinol. Gallan nhw gynnal gweithgareddau yn yr ystafell ddosbarth i hybu iechyd, fel projectau ar ddeiet ac addysg gorfforol.

Mae Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru yn credu gall addysgu a dysgu helpu unigolyn i feithrin y wybodaeth a’r sgiliau sydd eu hangen arno i dyfu yn unigolyn iach drwy’r dulliau canlynol:

• Gwybodaeth – ffeithiau sylfaenol (e.e. sut mae’r corff dynol yn gweithio; y GIG a gwasanaethau eraill: dylanwadau ehangach ar iechyd a llesiant)
• Gwybodaeth – ar destun neu thema benodol (effaith ysmygu ar y corff; maeth)
• Sgiliau – trawsbynciol (pendantrwydd; datrys anghydfod; asesu a rheoli risg)
• Sgiliau – ar destun neu thema benodol (sgiliau corfforol neu sgiliau ymarferol paratoi bwyd).

Welsh hearts are the leading heart charity in Wales for placing defibrillators training in Wales. They are regarded as the heart charity at the centre of saving many lives in Wales. Their aim is to provide public access defibrillators in Wales in close partnership with strategic partners. This is in place to provide free defibrillator and CPR training for the Welsh public. Also, to screen Welsh hearts for heart conditions that may otherwise go undetected. Another reason would be to ensure moneys raised in Wales are utilized and distributed within Wales on specific heart related projects.

The Welsh hearts aim to support the future ambition that every facility in Wales, no matter the size, will be no more than 100m from access to a life-saving defibrillator.

The Welsh hearts aim to work hard across Wales to raise funds for their life saving research, support people living with a heart disease also to reduce the risk of future generations.

Calonnau Cymru yw’r elusen calonnau arweiniol yng Nghymru am ddosbarthu diffribilwyr a hyfforddiant yng Nghymru. Mae’r elusen yn cael ei ystyried fel yr elusen calonnau sy’n ganolbwynt i achub nifer o fywydau yng Nghymru.

Latch Welsh Children’s Cancer Charity supports children receiving treatment for cancer and leukaemia at the Children’s Hospital for Wales and their families.

The organization offers families:

• Emotional support for brothers and sisters
• Benefits advice
• Advocacy
• Signposting
• Ward-based family Support Workers.

And many more!

They need to raise £700,000 a year to cover the costs of supporting families.

Although they are based within the Children’s Hospital for Wales, they have a Social Worker team that visits families at home across Wales.

Whilst the children are in hospital, they often miss their normal lives, where they are interacting with others. LATCH provides these children with a range of activities and treats to keep children’s morale high and keeping them occupied and amused during long stays in hospitals.

In 2017, they launched an ‘iPad’s for patients’ project. This is where they give an iPads to individual patients. This is done to keep the patient occupied and entertained, but also, they are able to keep contact with friends and families through social media and they can also carry on with their school curricular.

Mae Elusen Canser Plant Cymru, Latch, yn cefnogi plant sy’n derbyn triniaeth am ganser a lewcemia yn Ysbyty Plant Cymru a’u teuluoedd.

Mae’r mudiad yn cynnig gwasanaethau i’r teulu, gan gynnwys:

• Cefnogaeth emosiynol i frodyr a chwiorydd
• Cyngor am fudd-daliadau
• Eiriolaeth
• Atgyfeirio
• Gweithwyr Cymorth Teuluol yn seiliedig ar y ward.

A llawer mwy!

Mae angen iddynt godi £700,000 y flwyddyn er mwyn sicrhau bod yna ddigon o arian i gefnogi teuluoedd.

Er eu bod wedi’u lleoli o fewn Ysbyty Plant Cymru, mae ganddynt dîm o Weithwyr Cymdeithasol sy’n ymweld â theuluoedd yn eu cartrefi ledled Cymru.

Tra bod y plant yn yr ysbyty, maent yn colli eu bywydau arferol, lle byddant yn cymdeithasu ag eraill. Mae LATCH yn darparu amrywiaeth o weithgareddau a thrîts i blant i’w calonogi ac i’w cadw’n brysur ac wedi’u diddanu yn ystod arosiadau hir yn yr ysbyty.

Yn 107, cychwynnwyd prosiect ‘iPad for patients’. Cafodd bob claf iPad yr un. Maen nhw’n gwneud hyn er mwyn cadw claf yn brysur ac wedi’i ddiddanu, ond hefyd, maent yn gallu cadw mewn cysylltiad â ffrindiau a theulu trwy’r cyfryngau cymdeithasol a gallent hefyd barhau gyda’u gwaith ysgol.
