If you are waiting for treatment or surgery, it's important to make sure that you are as fit and healthy as possible.

Staying active, eating healthily and quitting smoking will help you to 'wait well' and boost your overall health and wellbeing.

You can find a lot of information and support on our Waiting Well web pages, which we hope you'll find useful in the time leading up to your appointment.

You can also find out about new ways to take control of your healthcare, like signing up to the Swansea Bay Patient Portal.

The pages contain information about quitting smoking, sleep advice, wellbeing and mood support and how to empower your healthcare, and much more.

Waiting for your treatment or operation can be frustrating, particularly when waits can be longer than they should be as health services strive to catch up after the pandemic. We apologise for delays that some patients may be experiencing, but please be assured that we are working hard to reduce waiting times.

You can find information and advice on our Waiting Well pages on the health board website here: https://sbuhb.nhs.wales/hospitals/waiting-well/

Allergy Awareness Week, 22nd–28th April

Allergy affects more than a quarter of the UK population, and occurs when the body’s immune system reacts inappropriately to normally harmless substances. Some allergies are mild, but more severe cases can cause anaphylaxis, which can be fatal.

Many people’ symptoms go unrecognised, and they don’t get the support they need. So this year, the theme of Allergy Awareness Week is ‘I Wish I Knew: Diagnosis Matters’.

You can find out more about the campaign and learn about allergy symptoms, next steps and anaphylaxis on the Allergy UK website:
