Mae’r bartneriaeth yn anelu at gynyddu cyflymder a graddfa’r gwelliannau mewn diogelwch cleifion ar raddfa genedlaethol, gan ddwyn ynghyd arbenigedd rhyngwladol, cymorth cenedlaethol a gwybodaeth leol. Bydd byrddau iechyd ac ymddiriedolaethau yn cael eu hyfforddi a’u cefnogi i wella ansawdd a diogelwch gofal ar draws eu systemau.

Rydym yn gyffrous i gyhoeddi rhestr fer Gwobrau GIG Cymru 2022.

Roedd y beirniaid yn ei chael hi'n arbennig o anodd llunio rhestr fer oherwydd safon uchel y cyflwyniadau. Dywedodd un beirniad, “Mae rhai prosiectau anhygoel ar waith. Roedd yn dasg heriol ac emosiynol i gwblhau'r rhestr fer yng nghanol y dagrau, ond roedd yn hyfryd iawn darllen am y gwaith gwych sydd ar y gweill ledled Cymru.”

Hoffem ddiolch i bawb a gymerodd yr amser i gystadlu am wobr a dymunwn bob lwc i bawb a gyrhaeddodd y rownd derfynol yn eu categori.

Bydd yr enillwyr yn cael eu cyhoeddi mewn seremoni ar 20 Hydref yng Nghaerdydd. Darllenwch y stori newyddion lawn a dilynwch @GwobrauGIGCymru i gael yr wybodaeth ddiweddaraf.

The Safe Care Partnership is between NHS Wales health boards and trusts, Improvement Cymru and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). Every health board and trust in Wales has the opportunity to join the partnership.

The partnership aims to accelerate the pace and scale of improvements in patient safety on a national scale by drawing together international expertise, national support and local knowledge. Health boards and trusts will be coached and supported to improve the quality and safety of care across their systems.

We’re excited to announce the shortlist for the NHS Wales Awards 2022.

The judges found the shortlisting especially difficult due to the incredibly high calibre of submissions. One judge commented “There are some phenomenal projects out there, it was a challenging and emotional task to complete the shortlisting amidst the tears, but it was really lovely to read about the great work that is underway across Wales.”

We would like to thank everyone who took the time to enter an award and wish all the finalists the best of luck in their category.

The winners will be announced in a ceremony on 20 October in Cardiff. Read the full news story and follow @NHSWalesAwards to stay up to date.
