Leading the way in radiotherapy innovation across Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

A Velindre-led programme is helping transform cancer care by accelerating radiotherapy innovation, improving patient experiences and expanding access to advanced treatments across Wales.

Since launching in 2023, Advancing Radiotherapy Cymru (ARC) has supported 17 projects across Wales, bringing together clinicians, health boards and partners to drive research, workforce development and service improvement. The programme is already making a real difference for patients today, while helping build more sustainable and equitable cancer services for the future.🔬

ARC's collaborative approach has also been recognised nationally, winning the Innovation and Improvement Award in the Working Together Achievement category at the Wales Moondance Awards.🏆

With more than 4,000 new radiotherapy referrals each year at Velindre alone, ARC is helping ensure more people across Wales can benefit from the latest advances in cancer treatment.

Participants at our Anadlu group got into the Halloween spirit with a creative day at St Fagans National Museum of History. 🎃

After spending time exploring the site and enjoying each other's company, the group came together for a pumpkin carving session, creating some fantastic designs and sharing plenty of laughs along the way.

The day offered another opportunity to connect with others, try something new and enjoy the benefits of creativity in a welcoming and supportive environment. Thank you to everyone who joined us. 💙

Anadlu is a monthly cancer support group held at St Fagans. Each session includes a mindful walk or object focus, followed by a creative activity, offering time to reflect, connect and create.

If you would like to join us at a future session, please contact our Arts in Health Coordinator, Sally Thelwell, at [email protected]. We would love to welcome you. 🎨🍂

We wanted to share an update on the parking enforcement measures in place for construction workers on the new Velindre Cancer Centre project.

We fully recognise the impact nVCC construction can have on residents. While the vast majority follow the site requirements, we recognise that the actions of a small number can have a disproportionate impact on the local community.

Any concerns we receive are escalated immediately to Sacyr, our construction partner, which is responsible for managing compliance on parking issues.

We continue to monitor the situation closely and work collaboratively with both the local community and the contractor to address any concerns that arise. We remain committed to ensuring that these concerns are taken seriously and that appropriate mitigation measures are in place throughout the construction period.

Sacyr have a range of mitigation measures remain in place, including:

· Dedicated workforce parking facilities for project personnel
· Regular communications and reminders to the workforce regarding parking expectations
· Monitoring of reported vehicles and investigation of concerns raised by residents
· Monitoring by members of the project team during arrival times where possible
· Additional measures under development to improve vehicle registration tracking and workforce compliance monitoring

At the most recent resident drop-in session, Sacyr's Stakeholder Engagement Manager delivered a presentation outlining the challenges associated with workforce parking and an update on the measures currently in place. The resident drop-in takes place on the last Wednesday of every month at 19 Park Road from 6pm to 7pm. The sessions are an opportunity to hear the latest updates on the project and ask the project team any questions you may have.

Sacyr has issued an update on their project website with further information here: https://shorturl.at/Ek9LD

Roedden ni eisiau rhannu diweddariad ar y mesurau gorfodi parcio sydd ar waith ar gyfer gweithwyr adeiladu prosiect newydd Canolfan Ganser Felindre.

Rydym yn cydnabod yn llawn yr effaith y gall adeiladu Canolfan Ganser Felindre newydd (CGFn) ei chael ar breswylwyr. Er bod y mwyafrif helaeth yn dilyn gofynion y safle, rydym yn cydnabod y gall gweithredoedd nifer fach gael effaith anghymesur ar y gymuned leol.

Caiff unrhyw bryderon a dderbyniwn eu huwchgyfeirio ar unwaith i Sacyr, ein partner adeiladu, sy'n gyfrifol am reoli cydymffurfiaeth ar faterion parcio.

Rydym yn parhau i fonitro'r sefyllfa'n agos ac yn cydweithio â'r gymuned leol a'r contractwr i fynd i'r afael ag unrhyw bryderon sy'n codi. Rydym yn parhau i fod wedi ymrwymo i sicrhau bod y pryderon hyn yn cael eu cymryd o ddifrif a bod mesurau lliniaru priodol ar waith drwy gydol y cyfnod adeiladu.

Mae gan Sacyr ystod o fesurau lliniaru sy'n parhau ar waith, gan gynnwys:

· Cyfleusterau parcio pwrpasol i'r gweithlu ar gyfer personél y prosiect
· Cyfathrebiadau a nodiadau atgoffa rheolaidd i'r gweithlu ynghylch disgwyliadau parcio
· Monitro cerbydau a adroddwyd ac ymchwilio i bryderon a godwyd gan breswylwyr
· Monitro gan aelodau tîm y prosiect yn ystod amseroedd cyrraedd lle bo modd
· Mesurau ychwanegol yn cael eu datblygu i wella olrhain rhifau cofrestru cerbydau a monitro cydymffurfiaeth y gweithlu

Yn y sesiwn galw heibio ddiweddaraf i breswylwyr, rhoddodd Rheolwr Ymgysylltu â Rhanddeiliaid Sacyr gyflwyniad yn amlinellu'r heriau sy'n gysylltiedig â pharcio i'r gweithlu a diweddariad ar y mesurau sydd ar waith ar hyn o bryd. Mae'r sesiwn galw heibio i breswylwyr yn digwydd ar ddydd Mercher olaf pob mis yn 19 Heol y Parc rhwng 6pm a 7pm. Mae'r sesiynau'n gyfle i glywed y diweddariadau diweddaraf ar y prosiect a gofyn unrhyw gwestiynau sydd gennych i dîm y prosiect.

Mae Sacyr wedi cyhoeddi diweddariad ar eu gwefan prosiect gyda rhagor o wybodaeth yma: https://shorturl.at/gdaet

News of David Bowie's death dominated headlines around the world in January 2016. Such was the impact, the beloved musician often came up in conversations amongst patients, families, and staff at Velindre Cancer Centre, even on the long corridor to outpatients. 💙

For one palliative care consultant, those conversations would ultimately lead to a letter that travelled far beyond the walls of Velindre and transcended to worldwide audiences. It was a unique addition to Bowie's legacy, helping more people approach the realities of death, dying, and palliative care. 📃

Today marks 60 years since 116 children and 28 adults tragically lost their lives in the Aberfan disaster.

We're thinking of all the people affected in the community. We will always remember. 💙

At 9:15am today, Wales will fall silent to remember those who were taken from us in the Aberfan disaster.

60 years may have passed, but we will never forget them.
