  Joining The Dots - Episode 25 – Migraine, Movement, Organ Donation and Deaf Awareness plus, a big ‘thank you’

  Sep 21, 202623 minS1

  This is an important week in the ‘awareness and prevention’ calendar, and as always, there are plenty of opportunities to engage with a host of campaigns which occur this month. Falls Awareness (sometimes referred to as Prevention) Week highlights the importance of being mobile and active in later life and campaigning groups such as Age Cymru as well as the local health authorities, including ours here in Cardiff and Vale, are offering awareness advice and prevention tips in an effort to ensure that more of us stay on our feet safely and for longer. For those of you who are in the catchment area of the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, the authority has a dedicated Falls Team , and this week they are based at Barry Library for three mornings, 10-12, to offer advice and support around preventing falls. Their first day is Monday 20th and they are also there on Tuesday and Thursday. And if you can’t get to Barry but you’re concerned about your mobility you can get in touch with the Stay Steady Clinic on 02921 832552. It is also Migraine Awareness Week, where the campaign tagline is ‘believe me/us’ as the Migraine Trust calls for more action on raising awareness and getting skeptics to believe those who suffer with the debilitating headaches. On Wednesday, Sept 23, the United Nations will mark International Day of Sign Languages , which coincides with Deaf Awareness Week. And, this week is also Organ Donation Week . Today, 8691 people are waiting for a transplant in the UK and 1572 have received a transplant from a deceased donor since April this year. Almost 40% of opt-in registrations on the organ donation register are people aged between 18-34 and since 2020/21 consent for organ donation has fallen from 69% to 57% this year, but the good news is that almost 29 million of us have agreed to donate our organs after death. And a big ‘thank you’ to the organisers of the South Wales Business Awards and to one of our trustees, Byron Brain, for a chance to showcase the great work of Hospital Radio Glamorgan.

  Joining The Dots - Episode 24 – International Dot Day, MenB vaccinations and National Inclusion Week

  Sep 7, 202619 minS1

  If like out programme presenter, Julie, you have never heard of International Dot Day, rest assured, you’re in for a treat. The show also highlights the work of Cardiff and Vale University Health Board’s immunisation co-ordinators who are offering MenB vaccinations to first-year undergraduate students aged under 25 and as it is National Inclusion Week, we hear what one school in the Vale of Glamorgan is doing to ensure its pupils know what its like to learn in a ‘highly inclusive and respectful environment’. American author Peter H Reynolds, wrote The Dot, a book about self discovery and the creative journey of a little girl called Vashti. She fretted that she couldn’t draw, but her first mark showed otherwise. A few years after the book was published a teacher called Terry Shay started International Dot Day , which falls (roughly) on September 15. It has become a day to celebrate creativity, courage and making your mark. MenB is a serious bacterial infection that can cause sepsis and can become life-threatening very quickly. The CVUHB vaccination team will be visiting universities across Cardiff and the Vale throughout September and October to offer the vaccine to all eligible first-year undergraduate students. It’s National Inclusion Week, a week dedicated to inclusivity and encouraging us all to start important conversations centred around this year’s theme of ‘build trust; navigate change’. As we all adapt to more technological changes, skills needs and economic pressures our expectations of ourselves and one another evolve. This can be challenging and exciting but also leave people feeling uncertain about what it means for them. This annual campaign is designed to celebrate inclusion and respect and valuing all individuals. At Cogan Primary School in the Vale of Glamorgan the school’s Hearing Resource Base was recently praised by Estyn as a particular strength, with inspectors describing Cogan as a “highly inclusive and respectful environment” where pupils with hearing loss are fully integrated into school life. We hear about it from two members of the school’s staff.

  Joining the Dots - Episode 21 - The deluxe quiz and ‘what’s on’ recommendations

  Aug 10, 202630 minS1

  It’s August, and incredibly, the sun is still shining in south east Wales, and beyond! The school holidays are in full swing, some will be on annual leave, others will be enjoying some rest and relaxation, so what better way to while away some time than to test your general knowledge and find out how much you know about Wales? You’ll get a chance to do that with the Joining the Dots quiz! We all know how important it is to keep our minds as well as our bodies active, so why not test yourself and let Julie know how you get on? Send her an email at joiningthedots@radioglamorgan.co.uk and tell her how many marks you got. There were 21 up for grabs and quiz questions included: *South Wales is home to the second largest castle in Britain. Windsor is the biggest castle, so what is the name of the biggest in Wales? *What is the name of the Welsh terrier dog that originated from Pembrokeshire and became popular with Hollywood stars and royalty after the First World War? Programme 21 also offers some insight into what you might want to watch, listen to and maybe even go and see. Julie’s recommendations are Ann Droid on BBC iPlayer for something to watch; How to Fail , with journalist and author Elizabeth Day for something to listen to, or watch if you prefer and Jersey Boys at Wales Millennium Centre if you fancy treating yourself to a simply spectacular musical. Go behind the music and inside the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons in the true-life musical phenomenon. They were just four guys from Jersey, until they sang their very first note ….

  Joining the Dots - Episode 19 - ARFID, RSV vaccines and pet loss

  Jul 6, 202623 minS1

  ARFID, Avoidant or Restrictive Food Intake Disorder impacts between 0.5% and 5% of the population. According to the National Eating Disorders Association , individuals with ARFID limit the volume and/or variety of foods they consume, but unlike other eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia, food avoidance or restriction is not related to fears of weight or distress about body shape, size or weight. Instead, in ARFID, selective eating is motivated by a lack of interest in eating or of food itself, or what is called sensory sensitivity (e.g., strong reactions to taste, texture, smell of foods), and/or a fear of aversive consequences (e.g., of choking or vomiting). ARFID Awareness UK offers support and resources online, as does the Cardiff and Vale Eating Disorders Service. Happy birthday to the National Health Service for July 5th – 78 years old! Established in 1948 by Welshman Aneurin Bevan, Britain was the first western country to offer free at the point of use medical care to the whole population. We’re grateful for the opportunity to support our local NHS, Cardiff and Vale University Health Board here at Hospital Radio Glamorgan and the people who work there, including Charis Joyce , an immunisation co-ordinator who explained why over 75 year olds and babies would benefit from the Respiratory Syncytial Virus vaccination. GP’s surgeries and walk-in clinics are being held this month, including across Cardiff and the Vale . And pet loss, something many of us struggle with. Would you know where to get support?
