A bigger role for pharmacists and nurses in making Wales healthier/Rôl ehangach i fferyllwyr a nyrsys wrth wneud Cymru'n iachach12.05.34pm GMT Thu 18th Jan 2007 Welsh Liberal Democrat candidate/spokesperson Jenny Randerson said:"We will make greater use of nurses and pharmacists in delivering healthcare when patients need it across Wales. "The Welsh Lib Dems are committed to extending and promoting the role of nurses and pharmacists in testing, screening and monitoring for a range of conditions. These include such conditions as high blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol testing. "By developing this community-based approach we will increase illness prevention, aid public education and enable those suffering from chronic conditions to manage their illness more effectively. Our proposal for health-hubs means that in some cases pharmacists, nurses, physiotherapists and GPs will be based under the same roof, alongside advice services, ensuring the most convenient healthcare possible. "In other areas, being able to go to the local community pharmacist for a regular blood check-up, and for the pharmacist to prescribe medication, reduces pressures on GP time and is a simple way to tackle chronic conditions. "We will increase and promote the use of extended prescribing by developing existing limited projects, so that appropriately trained nurses and pharmacists are able to prescribe a wide range of drugs. This puts patients first by making the healthcare far more accessible and patient-focused. "In line with this we are committed to developing innovative use of new-technology in the health service. This includes developing round-the-clock access to consultant advice through telemedicine and telemetry, building innovative e-capacity measures such as e-prescribing and e-notifications." Notes/Nodiadau: Welsh Liberal Democrats are picking a different reason to vote for them at the Welsh General Election five times a week from Jan 1. The reasons are drawn from their emerging programme for government. The trend in recent elections have been for the traditional parties to spin their messages as three this, and five that. The Welsh Liberal Democrats have a full programme for government comprising over 100 ideas to make a healthier, wealthier and wiser Wales. Printed, Published and Promoted by Stephen Smith on behalf of the Welsh Liberal Democrats, all at 102 Bute Street, Cardiff, CF10 5AD Rôl ehangach i fferyllwyr a nyrsys wrth wneud Cymru'n iachach Dywedodd Jenny Randerson ymgeisydd/llefarydd Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol Cymru:"Byddwn yn gwneud mwy o ddefnydd o nyrsys a fferyllwyr wrth gyflwyno gofal iechyd pan fo cleifion ei angen ar draws Cymru. "Mae Dem Rhydd Cymru yn ymroddedig i ymestyn a hyrwyddo rôl nyrsys a fferyllwyr ym meysydd profi, sgrinio a monitro ar gyfer ystod o gyflyrau megis pwysedd gwaed uchel, clefyd y siwgr a phrofion colesterol. "Trwy ddatblygu'r dull yn-y-gymuned hwn byddwn yn ehangu atal salwch, cynorthwyo addysgu'r cyhoedd a galluogi'r rhai hynny sy'n dioddef o gyflyrau cronig i reoli eu salwch yn fwy effeithiol. Mae ein cynigion am fothau-iechyd yn golygu, mewn rhai achlysuron, y bydd fferyllwyr, nyrsys, ffisiotherapyddion a meddygon teulu wedi'u lleoli dan yr un to, ochr-yn-ochr â gwasanaethau cynghori, gan sicrhau'r gofal iechyd mwyaf cyfleus posibl. "Mewn ardaloedd eraill, bydd gallu mynd at y fferyllydd cymunedol lleol am brawf pwysedd gwaed rheolaidd, ac yna i'r fferyllydd ddarnodi meddyginiaeth, yn lleihau pwysedd ar amser meddygon teulu ac mae'n ffordd syml o fynd i'r afael â chyflyrau cronig. "Byddwn yn ehangu a hyrwyddo'r defnydd o ddarnodi estynedig trwy ddefnyddio prosiectau graddfa-fechan presennol, er mwyn bod nyrsys a fferyllwyr sydd wedi'u hyfforddi'n briodol yn gallu darnodi ystod eang o gyffuriau. Mae hyn yn rhoi cleifion yn gyntaf trwy wneud eu gofal iechyd llawer yn fwy hygyrch ac wedi'i ffocysu ar y claf. "Yn unol â hyn oll, yr ydym wedi'n hymrwymo i ddatblygu defnydd arloesol i dechnoleg-newydd yn y gwasanaeth iechyd. Mae hyn yn golygu datblygu mynediad 24 awr i gyngor ymgynghorydd trwy telefeddygaeth a thelemetreg, gan adeiladau mesurau e-allu arloesol megis e-ddarnodi ac e-hysbysiadau." Notes/Nodiadau: Mae Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol Cymru yn dewis rheswm gwahanol dros bleidleisio drostynt yn Etholiad Cyffredinol Cymru bum gwaith yr wythnos o Ionawr 1. Daw'r rhesymau o'u rhaglen ymddangosol ar gyfer llywodraethu. Y tueddiad mewn etholiadau yn ddiweddar yw i'r pleidiau traddodiadol sbinio eu negeseuon fel tri o hwn a phump o hwnna. Mae gan Ddemocratiaid Rhyddfrydol Cymru raglen lawn ar gyfer llywodraeth sy'n cynnwys dros 100 o syniadau ar gyfer gwneud Cymru iachach, gyfoethocach a doethach.
