April is Adenomyosis Awareness Month, a chance to shine a light on the condition, its impact, and to encourage anyone experiencing symptoms to seek help.

Adenomyosis occurs when cells similar to those lining the womb begin to grow within the muscle wall of the uterus. Like the menstrual cycle, these cells respond to hormones and can cause significant pain and heavy bleeding.

It’s estimated to affect around 10% of people who menstruate and while it can occur on its own, many also experience endometriosis.

If you’re experiencing symptoms such as heavy or painful menstrual bleeding, support is available:
• Talk to your GP
• Visit our new Menstrual Health pages for information and guidance: https://orlo.uk/y22Ul

When diagnosed early, nine in ten people survive bowel cancer.

Are you aged 50–74? Your bowel screening kit will arrive through the post. It’s a simple test you can do at home - and it could save your life.

This is how it works:
📬 You’ll receive an invitation and a small test kit.
💩 Collect a small sample of poo.
📮 Send it back in the container and pre paid envelope provided.
🧪 Bowel Screening Wales tests it for traces of blood you can’t see.

Why it matters:
🔎 Screening can find precancerous polyps before they turn into cancer.
⏰ It can detect problems before symptoms appear.

Early detection saves lives.

If a test arrives for you, don’t hesitate to use it. It takes minutes. It matters.

Wishing everyone in our communities a very Happy Easter! 🐣💐

A huge thank you to our incredible staff who are working throughout the bank holiday weekend, your dedication is truly appreciated. 🙏

For many, Easter is a time that symbolises new beginnings, hope, compassion and reconciliation. It also marks the end of Lent, a period often spent giving, reflecting, and showing kindness.

For others, it’s a welcome moment to rest, recharge, or enjoy time with family and friends as we head into spring. 🌷✨

However you're spending the Easter weekend… we hope it brings you peace, joy and a little sunshine. ☀️💛

Easter celebrations are already in full swing across our wards this week! 🐣🌼

At Hafan Deg Ward, County Hospital, patients and staff enjoyed an Easter Eggstravaganza complete with a raffle, delicious cakes, and plenty of sweet treats. There was fun, laughter, and lots of happy faces all round! 💛✨

Meanwhile, over on Ebbw, Tyleri and Sirhowy Wards at Ysbyty Aneurin Bevan, everyone got creative with an Easter Bonnet & Hat Parade! It was an eggcellent morning of crafting, colour and therapeutic engagement, with both patients and staff joining in. 🎨👒🌷

And the big question is…

Did anyone manage to spot the Easter Bunny? 👀🐰

Wishing everyone a joyful and bright Easter! 💐💖
