If you have received a letter inviting you to an appointment with the diabetes prevention team, please book in as soon as possible.

The team is made up of specially trained dietetic support workers who provide a 30-minute intervention.

During that time, they will discuss topics such as physical activity, healthy eating and promote other lifestyle changes such as smoking cessation and alcohol reduction.

An increase in physical activity and having a healthy diet are just some of the steps you can take to help reduce the risk of developing diabetes.

The letter you receive will be from your GP practice on behalf of the diabetes prevention team. To book an appointment, please contact the diabetes prevention team directly. Their contact details will be available on your letter.

There are morning or afternoon clinics available at a number of locations across Swansea and Neath Port Talbot.

If you previously received a letter and didn’t make an appointment, it’s not too late to book in now.

You can find more information about the service and how it’s helping patients here: https://sbuhb.nhs.wales/news/swansea-bay-health-news/patients-educated-and-supported-to-help-prevent-developing-diabetes/

Are you a military veteran who may be struggling with life after the armed forces, or do you know someone who is? Did you know that free specialist mental health support is available, and that you can self-refer?

Veterans NHS Wales is a specialist mental health service for ex-Armed Forces personnel across Wales. In Swansea Bay, we offer trauma-informed, evidence-based care tailored to the unique experiences of veterans.

We are designed to support veterans who have experienced mental health difficulties as a result of their military service.

Often our clients may not realise at the time, but what they have experienced and been exposed to can have a significant impact, years after leaving the military.

Although we are experienced in working with trauma, especially military trauma, we often work with various other clinical presentations such as depression, anxiety, OCD, low self-esteem, perfectionism and panic disorder. (Only if this is related to their military service.)

If you are a veteran, or you know someone who may benefit from our service, you can always contact us to discuss whether they would be suitable.

Self-referrals are accepted via the Veterans NHS Wales website: https://www.veteranswales.co.uk/veterans. Or referrals can also come from GPs and mental health teams.

Every veteran referred to us is offered a clinical assessment, where we work together to develop a personalised care plan. This may include therapy, signposting to specialist support, and guidance tailored to their individual goals.
