Wonderful news! 💚

This double award recognition highlights the impact of effective collaboration. The Estates team is proud to have played a pivotable role in delivering clean, renewable energy to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital, reducing our environmental impact while supporting high quality patient care.

Newyddion gwych! 💚

Mae’r gydnabyddiaeth wobr ddwbl hon yn tynnu sylw at effaith cydweithio effeithiol. Mae tîm yr Ystadau yn falch o fod wedi chwarae rhan ganolog wrth ddarparu ynni glân, adnewyddadwy i Ysbyty Brenhinol Morgannwg, gan leihau ein heffaith amgylcheddol wrth gefnogi gofal cleifion o ansawdd uchel.

☀️ 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.

Huge congratulations to the heart failure team at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital for recruiting the first patient in Wales onto a new trial👏

The trial, sponsored by Heartfelt Technologies, is investigating how effective camera-based home monitoring technology is in the early detection of worsening heart failure symptoms.

By monitoring lower limb swelling, the system will generate alerts to notify healthcare teams, potentially prompting earlier intervention, which may reduce the need for a hospital admission.

Since the first patient recruitment in Wales, the Princess of Wales Hospital has also been successful in recruiting heart failure patients onto the trial.

Llongyfarchiadau mawr i dîm methiant y galon yn Ysbyty Brenhinol Morgannwg am recriwtio'r claf cyntaf yng Nghymru ar gyfer treial newydd👏

Mae'r treial, sy’n cael ei noddi gan Heartfelt Technologies, yn ymchwilio i ba mor effeithiol yw technoleg camera monitro cartref wrth ganfod symptomau methiant y galon sy'n gwaethygu'n gynnar.

Drwy fonitro chwydd yn y coesau, bydd y system yn cynhyrchu rhybuddion i hysbysu timau gofal iechyd, a allai ysgogi ymyrraeth gynharach, a allai leihau'r angen i bobl gael ei dderbyn i'r ysbyty.

Ers recriwtio’r cleifion cyntaf yng Nghymru, mae Ysbyty Tywysoges Cymru hefyd wedi bod yn llwyddiannus wrth recriwtio cleifion methiant y galon i'r treial.

Diabetes Week: Ask our clinicians 💬

As part of Diabetes Week (8–13 June), our diabetes clinicians will be answering your questions about diabetes - for adults and children - which we’ll be sharing throughout the week.

Do you have a question you’ve always wanted to ask about living with diabetes, supporting someone with diabetes, or understanding the condition better?

👉 Leave your questions in the comments below by Friday 22 May.

Please note:
• We’re unable to answer individual clinical questions
• We can’t provide personalised medical advice

Instead, our clinicians will respond to general questions to help improve awareness and understanding of diabetes.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Wythnos Diabetes: Gofynnwch i'n clinigwyr 💬

Fel rhan o Wythnos Diabetes (8–13 Mehefin), bydd ein clinigwyr diabetes yn ateb eich cwestiynau am diabetes - ar gyfer oedolion a phlant - a fyddwn yn eu rhannu drwy gydol y wythnos.

Oes gennych chi gwestiwn rydych chi wastad wedi bod eisiau ei ofyn am fyw gyda diabetes, cefnogi rhywun sydd â diabetes, neu ddeall y cyflwr yn well?

👉 Gadewch eich cwestiynau yn y sylwadau isod erbyn dydd Gwener 22 Mai.

Sylwch:
• Dydyn ni ddim yn gallu ateb cwestiynau clinigol unigol
• Dydyn ni ddim yn gallu darparu cyngor meddygol personol

Yn lle hynny, bydd ein clinigwyr yn ymateb i gwestiynau cyffredinol i helpu gwella ymwybyddiaeth a dealltwriaeth o diabetes.

Rydyn ni’n edrych ymlaen at glywed gennych chi.
