‼️IMPORTANT UPDATE‼️

As a result of a significant rise in the flu virus circulating in Royal Glamorgan Hospital and increasingly on our other sites, we are introducing compulsory mask wearing for all staff and visitors within acute and community hospital settings, unless they are exempt.

Wearing a mask is an effective way to prevent yourself from catching or spreading the virus.

Respiratory illnesses and viruses can be dangerous for vulnerable patients in hospitals, and causes sickness among our staff, so it is important that we do what we can to prevent the spread of illnesses.

This requirement is vital to protect our patients, staff and visitors and applies to all areas of our hospital including:

• Front door areas (including emergency departments and maternity units)
• Outpatient areas
• Mental Health Units
• Community Hospitals

You can help us to contain the spread of the virus by only visiting our hospital sites if absolutely necessary.

Respiratory illnesses and viruses can be dangerous for vulnerable patients in hospitals.

If you are immunosuppressed, think you have a virus or have recently spent time with someone who has a virus, avoid visiting our hospitals.

Today is World Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Day, also known as COPD.

Respiratory Clinical Nurse Specialist, Kirsty, and Hannah from Pulmonary Rehabilitation, are on site today at Prince Charles Hospital, raising awareness of COPD, the importance of medication for COPD and the services that are supporting patients across the Cwm Taf Morgannwg region.

But, what is COPD? COPD is a lung condition that happens when your lungs become inflamed and damaged and your airways narrow. COPD makes it harder for air to move in and out of your lungs, so you become breathless.

COPD is a common condition with approximately 1.7 million people living with it in the UK. It is progressive, meaning it gets worse over time.

The symptoms of COPD are:

- breathlessness - This often comes on gradually and gets worse over time. It means you might feel breathless while doing things you used to be able to do easily, like walking quickly or going uphill
-a cough that lasts a long time or goes away and comes back
-coughing up a lot of phlegm
-frequent chest infections
-wheezing

If you have symptoms, please see your GP and think, could this be COPD?
