About the Waiting Well Service

The service will offer support to individuals who have been waiting two years or more for elective procedures or treatment from the NHS and, through continued communication and reassurance, reduce the risk of reliance on emergency, acute and primary care health services and empower people to better self-manage their physical health and well-being as they continue to wait for treatment.

Our primary objectives are to:

* Support the service user whilst they await treatment and/or admission to hospital
* Improve service user health and well-being
* Facilitate or provide practical help in their own home
* Connect service users with community-based services to support their well-being and reduce their anxiety

Gair am y Gwasanaeth Aros yn Iach

Bydd y gwasanaeth yn cynnig cymorth i unigolion sydd wedi bod yn aros dwy flynedd neu fwy am driniaeth ddewisol gan y GIG a, thrwy barhau i gyfathrebu a thawelu meddyliau pobl, lleihau'r risg o ddibynnu ar wasanaethau iechyd brys, acíwt a gofal sylfaenol a grymuso pobl i hunanreoli eu hiechyd a'u lles corfforol yn well wrth iddynt barhau i aros am driniaeth.

Ein prif amcanion yw:

* Cefnogi defnyddwyr y gwasanaeth tra byddant yn aros am driniaeth a/neu'n cael eu derbyn i'r
ysbyty
* Gwella iechyd a lles defnyddwyr y gwasanaeth
* Hwyluso neu ddarparu help ymarferol yn eu cartref eu hunain
* Cysylltu defnyddwyr y gwasanaeth â gwasanaethau yn y gymuned i gefnogi eu lles a'u
gwneud yn llai pryderus

Duties include:

* Regular 'What Matters' conversations with service users to establish if there are any additional support needs to maintain independent living and enhance their quality of life
* Carrying out an informal assessment of the service user's wider non-clinical needs to establish if their immediate needs are met (safe home environment, basic food supplies, hot water, heating, etc.)
* Emotional support such as sitting with someone or speaking on the phone to someone who is confused, distressed, enabling discussion about their concerns
* Liaise with BRC's other local services such as Mobility Aids services and Third Sector liaison officers
* Signposting and supported referral to other agencies and third sector partners including Falls Prevention, Care & Repair, Carers Support, Age Cymru, Alzheimer's Society etc.

The Waiting Well service model staff will not provide personal care support.
