Ymwelodd Sue â Chanolfan Gydweithredol Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd ar gyfer Datblygu Bydwreigiaeth, cyn ymweld ag Ysbyty Athrofaol Cymru.


Y rhai a dderbyniodd wobrau rhagoriaeth y Prif Swyddog Nyrsio oedd \- Donna James o Fwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Caerdydd a’r Fro; y fydwraig ddigidol gyntaf yn y bwrdd iechyd. Ers dod i’r swydd mae Donna wedi trawsnewid gwasanaethau a chynyddu diogelwch i deuluoedd drwy wella cyfathrebu rhyngddynt a’r gwasanaeth. Mae Donna yn rhaglennydd hunanddysgedig, ac mae’r system atgyfeirio beichiogrwydd electronig a adeiladwyd yn ystod pandemig COVID wedi arwain at fynediad cyflymach a mwy cyfleus at ofal mamolaeth. Mae hefyd yn arbed llawer o amser i staff.


Tîm profedigaeth Snowdrop o Fwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr, sy’n cynnwys Lucy Dobbins, Sarah Griffith a Jan Garrod. Dyma dîm arbenigol o fydwragedd sy’n darparu cymorth amhrisiadwy mewn profedigaeth i rieni a theuluoedd sy’n colli baban yn ystod beichiogrwydd neu ar ôl rhoi genedigaeth yn y Gogledd. Mae’r tîm yn derbyn atgyfeiriadau gan wasanaethau gynaecoleg, mamolaeth a newyddenedigol ac yn cynnig cymorth hanfodol i deuluoedd sydd wedi profi colled ar unrhyw adeg, gan gynnwys marw\-enedigaeth, terfynu beichiogrwydd am resymau meddygol a marwolaeth newyddanedig hyd at 28 diwrnod oed. Gall hyn gynnwys cymorth emosiynol, gwybodaeth i rymuso rhieni i lywio’r elfennau ymarferol o ymdopi â cholled, a hyd yn oed cefnogi teuluoedd drwy’r daith anodd o ymchwiliadau gyda’r offeryn adolygu Marwolaethau Amenedigol.


Cyhoeddodd Sue hefyd y wobr bydwreigiaeth ar gyfer Gwella Ansawdd mewn Gwasanaeth ar y cyd â Choleg y Bydwragedd Brenhinol Cymru. Yr enillydd oedd tîm addysg bydwreigiaeth aml\-sefydliadol, a oedd yn cynnwys Nicky Court, Helen Etheridge, Elizabeth Rees a Suzie Moore. Dangosodd y fenter gydweithio rhwng Prifysgol Abertawe a dau Fwrdd Iechyd prifysgol. Nod y fenter oedd cefnogi a magu hyder myfyrwyr a chydweithwyr proffesiynol drwy roi sgiliau bydwreigiaeth wrth wraidd eu hymarfer. Datblygwyd addysg ryngddibynnol ar gyfer bydwragedd y dyfodol a chynhaliwyd gweithdy cydweithredol i wella sgiliau bydwragedd wrth gefnogi genedigaeth ffisiolegol. Mae’r fenter hon wedi helpu myfyrwyr a staff i gael profiadau gwell o fewn ymarfer clinigol a’r menywod i gael profiadau geni mwy cadarnhaol.


Talodd Sue deyrnged i’r enillwyr, gan ychwanegu:



> Mae’n bwysig bod y proffesiwn bydwreigiaeth yn cael ei gydnabod am y rôl hanfodol y mae’n ei chwarae ym mywydau pobl. Mae wedi bod yn wych clywed am ymrwymiad cydweithwyr ledled Cymru a dathlu rôl bydwragedd, sy’n ganolog i ofal mamolaeth pobl. Mae’r gwobrau hyn yn adlewyrchiad o faint rwy’n gwerthfawrogi ymroddiad enillwyr y gwobrau, a hoffwn eu llongyfarch a diolch iddynt am eu holl ymdrechion.


Yn ymuno â Sue yn y gwobrau cyntaf o’u math oedd Karen Jewell yn ei hymgysylltiad cyntaf o dan ei theitl newydd, sef Prif Swyddog Bydwreigiaeth Cymru.


Mae Karen Jewell wedi cael gyrfa hir mewn amrywiaeth o rolau ar draws y GIG gan gynnwys bod yn fydwraig ymgynghorol ac mae wedi arwain y polisi mamolaeth yn Llywodraeth Cymru ers mis Tachwedd 2016\.


Yn ogystal ag arwain ar wasanaethau mamolaeth, Karen hefyd yw’r arweinydd proffesiynol ar gyfer ymweliadau iechyd, nyrsio mewn ysgolion a nyrsio plant cymunedol. Mae’n canolbwyntio’n frwd ar y blynyddoedd cynnar a phlant a sicrhau bod polisi a gwasanaethau iechyd yn gweithio gyda’i gilydd i hyrwyddo’r dechrau gorau mewn bywyd.


Dywedodd y Prif Swyddog Nyrsio, Sue Tranka:



> Mae  rôl y Prif Swyddog Bydwreigiaeth yn cryfhau ein hymrwymiad i’r proffesiwn. Mae bydwragedd yn chwarae rhan hanfodol ym mywydau teuluoedd ac rwy’n falch o gael Karen yn y rôl hon. Rwy’n edrych ymlaen at barhau i weithio’n agos gyda hi wrth inni edrych i’r dyfodol ar gyfer gofal nyrsio a bydwreigiaeth yng Nghymru.


Daw’r newid teitl hwn ar adeg pan fo’r nifer uchaf erioed o bobl yn hyfforddi yng Nghymru i ddod yn fydwragedd. Ers 2016 mae lleoedd hyfforddi bydwreigiaeth bron wedi dyblu. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru hefyd yn buddsoddi i wella rhaglenni ymhellach a darparu gwasanaethau mamolaeth diogel a theg o ansawdd i deuluoedd yng Nghymru.


Wrth sôn am y newid, dywedodd Prif Swyddog Bydwreigiaeth Cymru, Karen Jewell:



> Rwyf wrth fy modd bod gan Gymru Brif Swyddog Bydwreigiaeth yn swyddogol ac rwy’n teimlo’n freintiedig i wasanaethu teuluoedd Cymru a’m cydweithwyr o dan y teitl hwnnw. Mae gwasanaethau mamolaeth yn ffocws allweddol o fewn blaenoriaethau’r Prif Swyddog Nyrsio ac mae gennym lawer o gyfleoedd o’n blaenau i weithredu’r weledigaeth ar gyfer y dyfodol a chyflawni’r gwasanaethau mamolaeth diogel ac effeithiol o ansawdd da yng Nghymru y dylai pob teulu eu disgwyl a’u derbyn.

Sue visited the WHO Collaborating Centre for Midwifery Development and University Hospital Wales.


Recipients of the Chief Nursing Officer’s excellence awards are:


Donna James from Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. The first digital midwife in the health board, Donna has transformed services and increased safety for families by enhancing communication between them and the service. Donna is self\-taught in computer programming, and the electronic pregnancy referral system built during the pandemic has resulted in quicker, more convenient access to maternity care, and significant time savings for staff.


The Snowdrop bereavement team at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board – Lucy Dobbins, Sarah Griffith and Jan Garrod. A specialist team of midwives providing invaluable bereavement support to parents and families experiencing pregnancy or baby loss in North Wales. The team accepts referrals from gynaecology, maternity and neonatal services and offers crucial support to families who have experienced loss at any point including stillbirth, termination of pregnancy for medical reasons and neonatal death up to 28 days. This can take the form of emotional support, information to help parents cope with loss, and even supporting families through the difficult journey of investigations with the Perinatal Mortality review tool.


Sue also announced the midwifery award for Quality Improvement in Service in partnership with RCM Wales. The winner was a multi\-organisational midwifery education team comprised of Nicky Court, Helen Etheridge, Elizabeth Rees and Suzie Moore. They demonstrated collaborative working between Swansea University and two health boards. The aim of the initiative was to support and build confidence in students and professional colleagues by putting midwifery skills at the core of their practice. An inter\-dependent education for the future midwife was developed and a collaborative workshop was implemented to enhance midwifery skills in supporting physiological birth. This practice has helped students and staff to have enhanced experiences within clinical practice and the women to have more positive birthing experiences.


Sue paid tribute to the winners saying:



> It’s important the midwifery profession is recognised for the vital role it plays in people’s lives. It’s been fantastic to hear about the commitment of colleagues across Wales and to celebrate the role of midwives, who are central to people’s maternity care. These awards are a reflection of how much I value the dedication of the award winners, and I want to congratulate and thank them for all of their efforts.


Joining Sue at the inaugural awards was Karen Jewell in her first engagement as Chief Midwifery Officer for Wales.


Karen has had a long career in the NHS, including as a consultant midwife and has led maternity policy in Welsh Government since November 2016\.


As well as leading on maternity services Karen is also the professional lead for health visiting, school nursing and community children’s nursing with a keen focus on early years and children and ensuring policy and health services work together to promote the best start in life.


Sue added:



> The role of Chief Midwifery Officer strengthens our commitment to the profession – I’m pleased to have Karen in this role, and I look forward to continuing to work closely with her as we look to the future for nursing and midwifery care in Wales.


Record numbers of people are training to become midwives in Wales. Since 2016, midwifery training places have almost doubled. The Welsh Government is investing to improve programmes and provide safe, quality, equitable maternity services for families in Wales. 


The new Chief Midwifery Officer for Wales Karen Jewell said:



> I’m thrilled Wales officially has a Chief Midwifery Officer and feel privileged to serve Welsh families and my colleagues in this new role. Maternity services are a key focus for the Chief Nursing Officer and we have many opportunities ahead to achieve the quality, safe and effective maternity services in Wales, which every family should expect and receive.
