As it’s the busiest time of the year for Father Christmas, he could not make the journey to Morriston to meet them in person.

They included poetry readings, a symbolic scattering of petals, prayers and a minute’s silence, as part of a wider

This afternoon we gave the 200,000th first dose of the Covid vaccine in our health board area. It’s a phenomenal achievement for a programme which has been running for less than six months. To help everyone understand how large a group that is we have put together a few handy comparisons. 200,000 people is equivalent to: • Filling the Liberty Stadium almost 10 times • 50 times the workforce at Port Talbot steelworks • Filling the new Swansea Arena 57 times • And filling all the beds in Morriston

In less than a fortnight – subject to approval for use - we’ll begin giving the first of the Covid-19 vaccinations to priority groups. This is likely to be health care workers and residents and staff in care homes in the first instance. Soon after we’ll begin mass vaccinations and plan to protect 160,000 people in the Swansea Bay area. It’ll mean vaccinations being given seven days a week for several months. We’ll need extra staff to carry this out, so we’re appealing for recently retired or ret

Did you know that each year there are over half a million outpatient appointments in our Swansea Bay hospitals? Most of these (around 340K) are patients called back for follow up appointments. But each month 2,000 – 3,000 patients just don’t turn up. That’s an expensive drain on NHS resources and, more importantly, wastes slots which could have been offered to others. You can’t treat an empty seat. Our current outpatients system has been in place for many years, so we recognise it really does ne

Coronavirus survivor Danny Egan knew exactly what he wanted to do after being discharged from hospital – give his wife a kiss. The 73-year-old grandad was one of the first two previously ventilated COVID-19 patients to go home from Swansea’s Morriston Hospital. The remarkable recoveries were marked by dozens of staff who lined the corridors outside ward H to send off Danny and 48-year-old David Courtney-Williams, a charge nurse on ward 12 at Singleton Hospital, with a rousing round of applause.

"When you nurse somebody who has really got a serious case of flu, these people actually are immobile. They are very, very unwell." "Anyone can come down with flu. It has no barriers. It can affect anybody." "Very often a patient comes in with an exacerbation of their asthma or CPD or chest infection. When the doctor comes to see them they may think there is a possibility of flu.

Did you know discharge planning begins the moment you are admitted to hospital? We do this because once your treatment is complete, continuing to lie or sit still on a ward can negatively affect your health and wellbeing though loss of muscle strength and stamina, confusion and low mood. That makes it harder to get back to living life the way you want to. We will work with you and your family or carers to reduce that risk by starting to plan your discharge when you are admitted.
