Patients and donors using cancer and blood services in Wales are set to benefit from a new digital prescribing service, which will make things easier and safer for them and for the staff managing their care.

Velindre University NHS Trust is getting ready to replace paper-based processes with a digital system called electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration, or ePMA. Velindre has partnered with software specialists Better to deliver the new system.

Nicola Williams, Executive Director of Nursing, Allied Health Professionals and Health Science at Velindre University NHS Trust, said: “The introduction of electronic prescribing at Velindre marks a major milestone in our commitment to patient safety and high-quality care. By replacing paper-based systems with digital processes, we’re reducing the risk of medication errors and ensuring our patients receive the safest and most effective treatment possible.”

It’s World Kindness Day!🌍💛

This time of year often brings its own challenges. With shorter days, cold and wet weather, and added financial pressures, it’s understandable that many of us find it a little more difficult.

Today is a great reminder to show kindness to others, but it’s just as important to be kind to yourself too.

Here are a few small ways to do just that:
👉Get outside: Even a short walk can lift your mood and energy.
👉Play something uplifting: Listen to music, podcasts, or sounds that make you feel good.
👉Take regular breaks: Step away from your screen and take five.
👉Stay connected: Check in with friends or colleagues.
👉Treat yourself: Enjoy a small sweet treat or a little indulgence.

Remember, in a world where you can be anything, be kind.

“EPS is a safer way of managing prescriptions and the tracker means there is less likelihood of prescriptions going missing.”

We’ve been talking to staff at Roath House Surgery in Cardiff about the benefits of the Electronic Prescription Service – and these are just some of them! Roath House Surgery is one of 122 GP practices in Wales now using EPS, which is a third of all practices. In addition, more than 76% of community pharmacies – 525 – are using the service to receive prescriptions digitally from GP practices

Roath House Surgery went live with EPS in June, with staff seeing benefits such as greater efficiency and a reduction in the amount of paper printed. Read what office manager Michelle Brewerton and practice pharmacist Gethin Morgan think of the service in our news story here ⬇️
