Yn wreiddiol o Dde Affrica, lle y cafodd ei hyfforddi fel bydwraig, nyrs gyffredinol gofrestredig, a nyrs iechyd meddwl a chymunedol, bu Sue yn gweithio i’r GIG am 22 o flynyddoedd, a hynny mewn rolau arweinyddiaeth gweithredol a chlinigol.


Mae gan Sue brofiad sylweddol ym maes diogelwch cleifion a gwella ansawdd. Ers mis Ionawr 2020, mae wedi bod yn gweithio i GIG Lloegr lle bu’n arwain yr ymateb nyrsio cenedlaethol i COVID, fel Dirprwy Brif Swyddog Nyrsio ar gyfer Diogelwch Cleifion ac Arloesi. Ers dechrau’r pandemig, bu’n canolbwyntio’n bennaf ar ddiogelu staff a chleifion rhag trosglwyddiad nosocomiaidd COVID.


Mae’n dod â chyfoeth o brofiad i’w rôl newydd gyda Llywodraeth Cymru, ac mae bellach yn edrych ymlaen at gwrdd â’r gweithlu nyrsio yma yng Nghymru, a’u cefnogi a’u harwain wrth inni fynd ati i adfer o’r pandemig.


Dywed Sue Tranka:  



> Yn ystod y cyfnod digynsail hwn, dw i wedi gweld â’m llygaid fy hun gyfraniad enfawr ein proffesiwn, a dw i’n hynod falch o’r ffordd y mae wedi ymroi i ddarparu gofal i’n cleifion, y tu mewn i’r ysbyty a’r tu allan iddo. Dw i hefyd yn ddiolchgar i bawb a ddaeth allan o’u hymddeoliad i helpu eu cydweithwyr, ac rydyn ni’n awyddus i elwa ar eu harbenigedd nhw hefyd wrth inni ganolbwyntio ar y dyfodol.

> Mae’n hanfodol rhoi’r sylw priodol i iechyd a llesiant ein hased mwyaf gwerthfawr yn y GIG, sef ein gweithlu, wrth inni adfer ein gwasanaethau. Mae aelodau ein gweithlu nyrsio wedi dangos cadernid mawr yn ystod y cyfnod anodd hwn, a dw i’n gwybod bod eu hymdrechion i gadw eu hunain a’u cydweithwyr yn ddiogel wedi costio’n fawr iddyn nhw fel unigolion.

> Rydyn ni wedi ymateb i lawer iawn o heriau yn ystod y cyfnod hwn, a bydd angen inni ddyblu ein hymdrechion i recriwtio, a chanolbwyntio ar y strategaethau mwyaf effeithiol i sicrhau bod pobl yn parhau i weithio inni.  Nid yw’r pandemig hwn drosodd eto, ond dw i’n edrych ymlaen at gwrdd ag aelodau gweithlu nyrsio Cymru er mwyn siarad â nhw a gwrando ar yr hyn sydd ganddynt i’w ddweud, wrth inni ystyried digwyddiadau’r 18 mis diwethaf, ac adeiladu ar gyfer y dyfodol.


Dywed Prif Weithredwr GIG Cymru, Andrew Goodall:



> Dw i wrth fy modd o allu croesawu Sue i Gymru a’i rôl newydd o arwain y proffesiwn nyrsio yma.

> 
> Mae hwn wedi bod – ac yn dal i fod – yn gyfnod heriol i’r GIG, a dw i’n gwybod bod Sue yn awyddus i gwrdd â’r gweithlu a deall y pwysau sydd arno er mwyn inni allu ei gefnogi wrth inni adfer o’r pandemig COVID. Bydd ei phrofiad a’i gwybodaeth helaeth yn gymorth enfawr inni yn ystod y cyfnod hwn a dw i’n edrych ymlaen at weithio gyda hi.

Originally from South Africa where she qualified as a midwife, registered general nurse, mental health and community nurse, Sue has been working for the NHS for 22 years in both operational and clinical leadership roles.


Sue has considerable experience in patient safety and quality improvement. Since January 2020, she has been working for NHS England where she led on the national nursing response for COVID as Deputy CNO for Patient Safety and Innovation. Protecting staff and patients from nosocomial transmission of COVID has been a key focus of her work since the start of the pandemic.


She brings a wealth of expertise to her new role with the Welsh Government and is now looking forward to meeting the nursing workforce in Wales and supporting and leading them through the pandemic recovery. 


Sue Tranka says:



> During this unprecedented time, I have witnessed the immense contribution of our profession and I am incredibly proud of how they have stepped up to deliver care for our patients, in and out of hospital. I am also grateful to all those who came out of retirement to support their colleagues, and we will look to retain their expertise now as we focus on the future.
> 
> 
> It is imperative that as we restore services we pay close attention to the health and wellbeing of our most precious asset in the NHS: our workforce. Our nursing workforce have shown great resilience at this difficult time, and I am mindful that in keeping themselves and their colleagues safe, this has sometimes come at great personal cost.
> 
> 
> We have dealt with many challenges during this time and we will need to redouble our efforts on enhancing recruitment, and focusing on the right retention strategies. This pandemic is not over yet, but I’m looking forward to meeting, listening and talking with the Welsh nursing workforce as we reflect on the past 18 months and build for the future.
