Mae'r ffocws ar ymyrraeth gynnar gan dîm anhwylderau bwyta arbenigol Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Betsi Cadwaladr (SPEED) wedi lleihau nifer y bobl ag anorecsia sy'n cael eu derbyn i'r ysbyty, ac wedi lleihau'r defnydd o diwbiau bwydo yn y gymuned ac ar wardiau cleifion mewnol. Tîm eu canolfan SPEED yw'r gyntaf i ymgorffori pediatreg yn asesiad cychwynnol taith y claf, a chael ymarferydd nyrsio uwch fel rhan o wasanaeth pediatreg y tîm. Mae hefyd wedi recriwtio cardiolegydd arbenigol - a chredir bod hwn yn benodiad cyntaf o'i fath yn y DU – gan ddarparu gwasanaeth cardioleg bediatrig bwrpasol i dîm SPEED.
The focus on early intervention by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board’s specialist eating disorder (SPEED) team has reduced the number of people with anorexia who are admitted to hospital and reduced the use of feeding tubes in both the community and on inpatient wards. Their SPEED hub team are the first to embed paediatrics in the initial assessment of the patients journey and have an advanced nurse practitioner as part of the team paediatric service. It has also recruited a specialist cardiologist – thought to be the first in the UK – providing dedicated paediatric cardiology to the SPEED hub team.
