Our IBD team raising awareness on crohns & colitis awareness week #cutthecrap

Goodbye Dr. Openshaw thank you for all your hard work and for this fabulous cake. Good luck in your next job x

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

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 😝

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

@CAVCYPDiabetes @cavcw @noahsarkcharity Fantastic work well done diabetes team! 👍🏻

We had a great afternoon running a education session for CYP and their families about Type 2 diabetes @cavcw Thank you @noahsarkcharity for supply drinks and snacks 😊

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 @Amarwahid81 @RMBeattie50 @CICRAcharity

🩸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

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

#SwallowingAwarenessDay #Dysphagia

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: buff.ly/3YcJQVA

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

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. .
