The Health Board following these changes to the boundaries, is now named as a Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTM UHB). Health Boards in Wales are in a unique position to provide joined-up care for children right across primary, community, secondary and mental health services as they are integrated care providers.Redesign of Neonatal, Paediatric and Maternity Services in South Wales following public consultation. Provision of care for Neonates and Children in South East Wales is currently undergoing new and exciting changes. Hospitals in South Wales are working closely across Health Board boundaries in Alliances. It is hoped the successful candidate will help develop these Paediatric Services in CTM UHB and South Wales. Reconfiguration of Paediatric Services within CTMUHBIn line with the outcome of the South Wales Programme Recommendation, the paediatric services in CTM UHB are in the process of reconfiguration changes. The Neonatal services and the consultant-led obstetrics services are now consolidated to Prince Charles Hospital on the 9th of March 2019, establishing a Local Neonatal Unit. A Midwife-Led Unit is now established in Royal Glamorgan Hospital site providing service for low risk deliveries. The changes to paediatric services are expected to be completed by over the coming months resulting in consolidation of paediatric in-patient services to Prince Charles Hospital and establishment of a large Paediatric Assessment Unit in Royal Glamorgan Hospital linked to the Children’s Centre.Profile of CTM UHBCTM UHB was formally established on 1st April 2019.In total, CTM UHB employs over 7,600 staff across three District General Hospital sites – Prince Charles Hospital which opened in 1978, the Princess of Wales Hospital opened in 1985 and Royal Glamorgan Hospital, which opened in 1999, and six smaller community hospitals. The Directorate of Children, Young and CAMHS is within the portfolio of the Director of Primary Care, Community and Mental Health.The newly formed Cwm Taf Morganwwg Health Board stretches from the Southern Brecon Beacons in the North to the Welsh Jurassic Coast at Southerndown and Ogmore by Sea in the South. There are many facilities for enjoying the areas of outstanding natural beauty and outdoor pursuits on the doorsteps of our hospitals. For the more natural city dwellers the vibrant Capital city of Cardiff provides an excellent choice of concert venues, theatres, restaurants, bars, museums and galleries as well as housing and good schools within easy commuting distances of both Royal Glamorgan and Prince Charles Hospitals. Transport links including road, rail and from Cardiff airport are all within easy reach. Population Served by the CTMUHBCTMUHB currently provides services to around 474000 population. The UHB primarily serves the residents of Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda Cynon Taff and Bridgend as well as residents of North Cardiff, parts of the Rhymney Valley, the Ogmore valley and , South Powys, and other adjacent health communities. In addition, the UHB provides some specialist services to the catchment areas of Bridgend and Caerphilly. Hospitals Where Services Are Provided The three main District General Hospitals: The Royal Glamorgan Hospital, near Llantrisant has around 570 beds and provides a comprehensive range of In-patient, Day case and Outpatient facilities together with Accident and Emergency and Diagnostic facilities. The Acute Mental Health Unit is also based on the Royal Glamorgan site.There are a range of Critical Care Services including an Adult Intensive Care Unit and Adult High Dependency Unit. Neonatal services and consultant-led Obstetrics services are now consolidated on to Prince Charles Hospital. The hospital now hosts a Free standing Midwifery –led Unit (FMU). Paediatric in-patient services are due to merge on to Prince Charles Hospital in the coming months, leading to development of a large Paediatric Assessment unit. State of the art facilities are provided within the Radiology Department and the hospital is film less with digital images and reports available to clinicians across the site. The Pathology Service is also modern using specialist equipment and is well staffed. Modern innovations have been introduced to enable authorised results to be viewed on computer screens in all wards and clinics.Prince Charles Hospital (PCH)The Paediatric Department at Prince Charles Hospital was constructed in 2002/03 comprising 2 wards (wards 31 and 32). Ward 31 provides 24 hour 7 day a week care for General Paediatric Medical Patients and care for General Paediatric Surgical, Orthopaedic and ENT patients. In addition there is a 6 bed Assessment Unit situated on ward 32 which provides a service from 8.00 am to 8.00 pm Monday - Friday. The Paediatric Team liaise very closely with their surgical colleagues with all patients being under joint care. Recently a new Paediatric Assessment Unit has been developed in the A&E department. Activity figures show that there were approximately 4000 in-patients per year with an average length of stay of 1.51 days, 6637 new out-patients with a total of 17,007 out-patients seen in one year. Following recent changes of service reconfiguration, a Local Neonatal Unit is now established with a physical capacity of 19 cots, now operational at a staffed capacity of 15 cots. Sick neonates are resuscitated, stabilized and transferred out by the Regional Neonatal Transport Service. The service, before the reconfiguration changes, caters for 1600 deliveries per year. This now expected to raise to above 3000 deliveries.Consultants participate in a “Consultant of the week” rota for General Paediatrics and a separate consultant ward rounds for the Neonatal Unit.
