-Bangor's Ysbyty Gwynedd

-is a busy yet homely place.

-Its 530 beds and 3,500 staff...

-..serve the people

-of North West Wales.

-Every aspect of life is seen here.

-Excitement at the Accident Unit,

-joy at the Maternity Unit.

-They treat sick children

-and care for the elderly.

-Operations, deaths and births...

-..cleaners, chefs,

-maintenance workers...

-..and laughter.

-This and more in Ysbyty Gwynedd.

-At the Maternity Unit, midwife

-Telaid Alaw begins a 12-hour shift.

-Good morning! Are you OK?

-Did you have a good night?

-Yes, thanks.

-This is Ysbyty Gwynedd's

-Llifon Ward.

-I'm a midwife.

-I look after

-the mothers and babies...

-..before and after birth.

-Are you happy for me

-to take a blood sample?

-You had

-a Caesarean section yesterday.

-We need to ensure

-the iron level isn't too low.

-I'm attacking you from every angle!

-I've wanted to be a midwife

-since I was a little girl.

-I can't pinpoint a reason why.

-I never get bored,

-because every day is different.

-I meet and socialize

-with different people.

-It's brilliant and interesting.

-How does that feel?

-It's hard when

-people are ill or it's busy.

-If we could predict the onset

-of labour we'd be a millionaires!

-Either people come in together

-or it's quiet.

-That can be challenging.

-Here's Jac. How are you, mister?

-I'm just checking his colour.

-I can be with a mother through

-antenatal, the birth and postnatal.

-The continuity of care is great.

-It rarely happens,

-but when it does, it's great.

-I'll send these to the Labs.

-Shout if you need anything.

-Are you OK for pain relief?

-Spiritual sustenance is another

-vital service the hospital provides.

-The Chaplaincy Centre

-opened six years ago.

-There was a chapel here...

-..but the Centre

-has improved the service...

-..we can offer

-the public and the hospital.

-The Chaplaincy

-fulfils the spiritual needs...

-..of the whole community.

-It's a great advantage

-that it's a multi-faith Centre.

-Due to the nature of our society

-in North Wales...

-..we have patients

-who are Christians, Muslims...

-..Baha'is, Buddhists...

-..we never know who'll come in.

-We respond to their needs

-whoever they may be.

-This Centre is an important place...

-..where we can respond

-to those needs.

-There is a crisis

-of faith in the community.

-Chapels and churches

-are in decline.

-Some have been forced to close.

-But the hospital Chaplaincy...

-..has never been healthier

-than it is today.

-The theatre prepares

-to treat a broken arm.

-Arwel Elis Jones is in charge.

-He makes sure

-everything runs like clockwork.

-ODP stands for Operating

-Department Practitioners.

-We're the only NHS staff who

-are trained to work in the theatre.

-First,

-I check the anaesthetic machine.

-It's central to everything we do.

-It supplies oxygen

-to keep the patient alive...

-..and gasses for him to sleep.

-Recent research suggests that

-keeping the patient warm is vital.

-We use paper blankets.

-It'll be put on the patient

-from the chest down.

-The surgeon needs access to operate.

-We blow hot air into it

-to keep him warm all the time.

-He hasn't eaten since yesterday.

-We need to maintain his body levels.

-He'll be given a drip

-which is also heated.

-This heats the fluids

-he'll receive during the operation.

-It helps to keep him warm.

-That's what we have to do.

-The midwife cares

-for the mother and baby.

-At times, it can be painful.

-This baby is six days old.

-We offer a neonatal blood spot

-screening test.

-We'll draw blood

-from the baby's heel.

-We aim to identify

-five rare conditions.

-It isn't a nice part of the job.

-BABY CRIES

-I know, it's a hard life!

-We'll hear a scream in a minute.

-LOUD CRY

-LOUD CRY

-

-Oh, poor thing!

-I fill these four spots with blood.

-You're strong.

-That's not very good.

-That'll do. It's all done.

-You're not going to like me now.

-What's this noise?

-Let's take you back to Mam.

-On the wards, Colin Lloyd Dixon

-offers spiritual healing.

-Every week...

-..we go around to ask patients

-if they'd like to receive communion.

-I come and give communion.

-That's what we're doing.

-I have a licence

-to administer communion.

-I've had it since

-the early eighties.

-Wynne was our vicar in St David's

-and he knew I had a licence.

-When he came here...

-..he asked me to help him.

-I've been here for ten years.

-The body and blood of Christ

-keep you in eternal life, Amen.

-The bread we use

-is different from any UK hospital.

-It's made for us in Kerala, India.

-It's much thinner then the bread

-we use in church.

-Hospital patients

-tend to have dry mouths.

-They can't eat hard wafers.

-They're made in a church in Kerala,

-India.

-God bless you and take care.

-Patients feel better

-after the communion.

-It's something spiritual.

-I think it helps them.

-Help is at hand to take Jac home.

-Are you OK?

-Good news.

-I've written everything down here.

-Your community midwife

-will take over.

-We'll tell her

-you're going home today.

-That's for you, Rhian. You've

-been no trouble at all, fair play!

-You can have Mam back home

-and take Jac back with you.

-Do you want me to carry something?

-It's incredibly rewarding.

-It's lovely when

-the working conditions are OK.

-When we have the support,

-it's a great job.

-I'll let you out. Good luck.

-See you! Ta-ra.

-Another happy family has gone.

-Job done!

-After the break -

-will the operation be a success?

-Where does your prescription go?

-Music for the patients, and

-will Nel be able to go on holiday?

-.

-Some of the busiest hospital clinics

-treat fractured bones.

-Nel fell on her arm

-in the school sports day.

-She's fractured

-one of the bones in her arm.

-She's had the cast for a month.

-We hope it'll come off today.

-Why do you want to have it removed?

-We're going to my uncle's

-holiday home in America...

-..in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

-I hope it comes off

-so I can fly there.

-Buddug Davies is in charge.

-We aim to keep them informed.

-If they've waited

-for more than 40 minutes...

-..we explain to them

-that the clinic is running late.

-They can go for a cuppa.

-People have gone

-to Tesco before today!

-I enjoy being here, it's busy.

-I feel I give 100%.

-They receive the best possible care.

-Retirement next, wow!

-The pharmacy

-is the heart of the hospital.

-It stores and distributes

-the prescriptions.

-Every prescription

-faces a long journey.

-Can I have the name and address,

-please?

-Every patient has a number

-which we enter in the system.

-The system knows everything

-about the patient.

-Once we enter the number, we can

-prescribe all sorts of medicines.

-Here's your ticket.

-Thank you very much.

-I'll take it to Team A

-to be checked.

-OK?

-As the pharmacist...

-..I check

-any potential side-effects...

-..and that it's

-clinically and legally correct.

-I'm checking it's OK

-to go through to be dispensed.

-I've picked up the TTO.

-I'll make sure

-its had a clinical check.

-Catrin has signed it

-so I can dispense it.

-Robot is a vital team member.

-It reads the code on the boxes

-and sends them to the staff.

-When I'm happy that everything

-is OK, I sign it off.

-It goes through again.

-The ACT checker or the pharmacist

-will check it again.

-This is the final technical check.

-We check everything matches,

-that the directions are correct...

-..that the patient's name is right.

-We ensure we dispense

-what the doctor said.

-Thank you very much.

-From the doctors to the DJs.

-Radio Ysbyty Gwynedd.

-Welcome to Radio Ysbyty Gwynedd.

-You're listening to the golden hour.

-I've been here 26 years.

-I enjoy the fact that people

-remember what I've done for them.

-A man said to me,

-"You're the music man."

-I can't sing to save my life - one

-of the few Welshmen who can't sing!

-But I play the music, and he'd

-remembered from eight years ago.

-And now here's the lovely

-Meinir Gwilym with Gafael Yn Dynn.

-The Welsh like sad songs.

-Tony and Aloma's

-Losing a Loved One is a favourite.

-Also, David Lloyd singing

-Beneath the Blue Slate and Flowers!

-I don't quite understand it!

-Old Shep is very popular.

-When I go to the wards later...

-..someone will ask for

-One Day At A Time.

-That's a good song.

-Sarah Wynn

-is also a hospital presenter.

-What's on tonight?

-I've just played

-David Guetta by Titanium...

-..and now I'm playing Brigyn.

-If Sarah Wynn came around the wards

-she'd raise people's blood pressure!

-I send her home to put more clothes

-on in case she catches a cold!

-Sarah Wynn is our glamorous

-Page Three Girl.

-Sarah's songs are too hippy for me.

-She loves them.

-I'm sure the patients do, too.

-I'm going around

-the wards to get some requests.

-Annes will be back by 7.30.

-Cool, OK.

-See you later.

-Looking forward to it!

-Monday nights were my first shifts.

-I've also been on Fridays, but

-it's been Thursdays for two years.

-Derec and I have fun

-every Thursday night.

-It's nice to come here after work.

-It's time for Nel to discover...

-..whether her arm is strong

-enough to remove the plaster.

-Take a seat.

-You don't want another one?

-Right!

-If the plaster goes back on...

-..she can't fly to America

-for her holidays.

-And the other side.

-I'm sure you'd like to wash it!

-Are you sure

-you don't want to keep this?

-Let's get you washed.

-Look how dirty it is!

-The surgeons

-are treating a patient's arm.

-Arwel Elis Jones keeps an eye on

-every aspect of the theatre's work.

-The patient broke his arm

-a year ago.

-They usually strap the arm up...

-..and it heals itself.

-But the bone has split.

-The humerus

-has gone up to the split.

-It'll be pulled back and closed...

-..and a plate

-will cover the two pieces.

-Arwel's job isn't for the squeamish.

-Most of what we see

-on the floor is saline.

-They use a syringe

-to keep the bone clean.

-There's nowhere for it to go

-but on the floor.

-It can get messy here.

-The operation is a success.

-I enjoy my job.

-Not many people know about it.

-It's an honour to play

-a positive role in people's lives.

-I wouldn't get that in a factory!

-What's Nel's news?

-She's moving it fine.

-Do you know how we test

-to see how strong you are?

-What we do is there's

-a special measure here.

-If you squeeze that hard,

-it'll give me a reading.

-You do it on the good side first.

-You know how strong you are?

-Now let's do that

-on the other side as well.

-She's nearly there.

-You need to get a bit stronger.

-One side was 40

-and it's only 20 on this one.

-I gather you are heading

-on a holiday.

-We're going to America, to

-Hilton Head, next to South Carolina.

-When is that?

-When is that?

-

-Next week.

-I'm quite happy

-for her to be left out of plaster.

-Well done.

-Thank you so much. Nice seeing you.

-Thank you so much. Nice seeing you.

-

-And you, too.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-

-Bye bye now. Have a good holiday!

-Good news for Nel and her mother.

-The arm has healed

-and the American holiday is safe.

-You're still here?

-Haven't you got a home to go to?

-No! I wish I could go home!

-Time drags here.

-I often start my programme

-by saying the week has flown by.

-But it hasn't for them.

-They're here, day after day.

-We want to make

-their stay here pleasurable...

-..even for an hour or two a night.

-We've reached Dulas Ward

-to talk to a gentleman.

-Is it true that

-they named Llaneilian after you?

-I expect so.

-You were named after Llaneilian!

-I thought

-it was the other way round!

-What song would you like?

-Ychydig Hedd, Trebor Edwards.

-It's a good song.

-Thanks for the chat.

-Hurry back!

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-

-Thank you.

-There are nights

-when people don't want to listen.

-But the hospital is

-for people who are unwell.

-Over the years, I've learnt

-who to visit and who to avoid.

-The secret is

-not to outstay my welcome.

-We try to cheer them up, if we can.

-It doesn't work every time,

-but we're happy with what we do.

-On the last programme

-of the series...

-..an injury at the Accident Unit...

-..cleansing blood in the Renal Unit,

-opening the morgue door...

-..and welcoming a new arrival.
