This assessment looks at where pharmacies are located and how far patients have to travel, what services pharmacies offer and if current services meet the needs of the communities they serve. The health board is now asking for people’s opinions on the draft pharmaceutical needs assessment, prior to publishing a final version in October.

A new team of specialist counsellors is helping people with cancer and their carers in Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire – thanks to charitable donations. Hywel Dda Health Charities, the official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board, is funding a pilot project, offering psychological support to people diagnosed with cancer and to their carers. As well as helping patients and their carers, the new service is also working with the cancer workforce in Hywel Dda, providing training so healthcare staff can enhance their skills in offering psychological support, along with supervision and support to empower the cancer teams. The Cancer Psychological Support Service (CaPS) is run and managed by Hywel Dda University Health Board and sees the four counsellors working across the whole of the three counties.
. LEISURE centres in Ceredigion are expected to reopen next month, the County Council has revealed. The announcement follows criticism that facilities had not yet reopened, despite updated guidelines allowing them to do so on Monday, May 3. The Welsh Government has advised that gyms, fitness facilities, leisure centres, spas and swimming pools can now reopen, along with organised children’s indoor activities. But Ceredigion council chiefs have stated that local sport and physical activity provision will restart on a phased approach. This will include the gradual re-opening of council operated leisure facilities, artificial turf pitches and playing fields. The Council anticipates that indoor leisure facilities in the county will be permitted to open from July 5 onwards.
