Wrth gyhoeddi'r cyllid ychwanegol, tanlinellodd y Gweinidog bwysigrwydd sicrhau bod gan y gweithlu fferylliaeth y sgiliau cywir i gyflawni Cymru Iachach, sef cynllun hirdymor Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer iechyd a gwasanaethau cymdeithasol. 


Bydd y cyllid newydd yn ariannu hyfforddiant sgiliau clinigol arbenigol i 50 o fferyllwyr ledled Cymru, a ddarperir gan Addysg a Gwella Iechyd Cymru (AGIC). Bydd yn canolbwyntio ar reoli mân anhwylderau, rhywbeth nad yw'n cael ei gynnwys yn draddodiadol mewn hyfforddiant cychwynnol ym maes fferylliaeth.


Gyda phwysau cynyddol ar wasanaethau gofal sylfaenol, mae gan fferyllwyr rôl fwyfwy pwysig mewn gofal iechyd cymunedol. Amcangyfrifir bod 5% o ymgynghoriadau ag adrannau argyfwng, a 13% o ymgynghoriadau ag ymarferydd cyffredinol, ar gyfer mân anhwylderau a allai fod wedi cael eu rheoli gan fferyllwyr.


O ganlyniad i'r hyfforddiant hwn, bydd gan fwy o bobl fynediad uniongyrchol i wasanaethau yn agosach at y cartref, ar amser sy'n gweddu iddynt \- un o gonglfeini allweddol Cymru Iachach. Bydd hefyd yn rhyddhau amser ymarferwyr cyffredinol i reoli achosion mwy cymhleth i gleifion. 


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Iechyd, Vaughan Gething:



> “Rwy'n croesawu ymdrechion gweithwyr proffesiynol ym maes fferylliaeth yng Nghymru wrth weithio i sicrhau bod fferyllfeydd yn bodloni'r newid a welir yn anghenion gofal iechyd pobl Cymru. Mae potensial cynyddol i fferyllwyr gael eu gweld y tu hwnt i'w rôl draddodiadol o roi meddyginiaethau ar bresgripsiwn. Bydd pwyslais yr hyfforddiant hwn ar fân anhwylderau o fudd uniongyrchol i gleifion trwy ryddhau amser ymarferwyr  cyffredinol. Bydd ein hymrwymiad, gyda chymorth cyllid sylweddol newydd eleni ar gyfer hyfforddiant a datblygiad proffesiynol parhaus, yn sicrhau bod gan Gymru weithlu cynaliadwy sydd wedi'i hyfforddi'n briodol ym maes fferylliaeth. Bydd hefyd yn cynnig gyrfa fwy amrywiol gyda buddion proffesiynol i fferyllwyr.”


Dywedodd Andrew Evans, Prif Swyddog Fferyllol Cymru:



> “Mae Llywodraeth Cymru a'r proffesiwn eisoes wedi cyflawni cryn dipyn trwy gydweithio. Mae'n bwysig inni barhau i ymateb i'r newid yn anghenion pobl Cymru a'n system gofal iechyd. Mae gweld y person iawn, ar yr adeg iawn, i'w helpu i aros yn iach, wrth wraidd hynny.”


Croesawodd y Gweinidog Iechyd hefyd adroddiad Pwyllgor Fferyllol Cymru ‘Pharmacy: Delivering a Healthier Wales’. Mae'r adroddiad yn nodi sut y gellid defnyddio sgiliau unigryw gweithwyr proffesiynol ym maes fferylliaeth yng Nghymru i wella llesiant ac atal salwch, gan alluogi pobl Cymru i fanteisio i'r eithaf ar eu meddyginiaethau. Ac yntau'n diolch i'r Pwyllgor am ei waith pwysig, dywedodd Mr Gething y byddai Llywodraeth Cymru bellach yn ystyried y cynigion dros yr haf ac yn gweithio gyda'r proffesiwn wrth fwrw ymlaen â'r cynllun uchelgeisiol hwn. 


Ym mis Ebrill cyhoeddodd Mr Gething swm ychwanegol o £3\.6m yn 2020/21 i drawsnewid y ffordd y mae fferyllwyr yn cael eu hyfforddi yng Nghymru. Bydd yr arian, a fydd yn codi £4\.9m yn ychwanegol erbyn 2023/24, bron yn dyblu nifer y lleoedd hyfforddiant o ryw 100 y flwyddyn yn awr i 200 erbyn Awst 2023\. Roedd y cyhoeddiad yn cyd\-fynd â lansio cam fferylliaeth ymgyrch Hyfforddi, Gweithio, Byw sy'n anelu at hyrwyddo Cymru fel dewis o'r radd flaenaf i fferyllwyr.

Making the announcement of additional funding, the minister emphasised the importance of ensuring that the pharmacy workforce has the right skills to deliver A Healthier Wales, Welsh Government’s long\-term plan for health and social services. 


The new backing will fund specialist clinical skills training for 50 pharmacists across Wales, to be delivered by Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW). It will focus on managing minor ailments, traditionally not included in initial pharmacy training. 


With growing pressure on primary care services, pharmacists are playing an increasingly important role in community healthcare. It is estimated that 5% of emergency department consultations, and 13% of GP consultations, are for acute minor ailments that could have been managed by pharmacists.


As a result of this training, more people will have direct access to services closer to home, at a time to suit them – a key pillar of A Healthier Wales. It will also free up GP time to manage more complex patient cases.


Health Minister Vaughan Gething said:



> “I welcome the efforts of Welsh pharmacy professionals in working to ensure that pharmacies meet the changing healthcare needs of the people of Wales. There is increasing potential for pharmacists to be seen beyond their traditional role of dispensing medicines. This focussed training on minor ailments will directly benefit patients by freeing up GP time. Our commitment, backed with significant new funding this year for training and continuing professional development, will ensure a sustainable and appropriately\-trained pharmacy workforce in Wales. It will also offer pharmacists more varied and professionally rewarding careers.”


Andrew Evans, Chief Pharmaceutical Officer for Wales, said:



> “The Welsh Government and the profession have already achieved a great deal through working together. It is important that we continue to respond to the changing needs both of the people of Wales and our healthcare system. Seeing the right person, at the right time, to help them to stay fit and well, lies at the heart of that.”


The Health Minister also welcomed the Welsh Pharmaceutical Committee’s report ‘Pharmacy: Delivering a Healthier Wales’. The report sets out how the unique skills of pharmacy professionals in Wales could be used to improve health wellbeing and prevention, enabling the people of Wales to get the most from their medicines. Thanking the Committee for their important work, Mr Gething said the Welsh Government would now consider the proposals over the summer and work with the profession in taking forward this ambitious plan.


In April Mr Gething announced an extra £3\.6 million in 2020/21 to transform the way pharmacists are trained in Wales. The money, rising to an additional £4\.9 million by 2023/24, will almost double the number of training places from around 100 each year now to 200 by August 2023\. The announcement coincided with the launch of the pharmacy phase of Welsh Government’s Train, Work, Live campaign aimed at promoting Wales as a top choice for pharmacists.
