Canolfan Gwella ac Arloesi Abertawe

Ffocysa’r Ganolfan ar gyflwyno dull cydweithredol ac effeithiol o ymchwilio, hwyluso ac addysgu dull sy’n seiliedig ar werth a thystiolaeth o wella iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol.

Mae gan y Ganolfan berthnasoedd cydweithredol helaeth â phrifysgolion, gofal iechyd a sefydliadau trydydd sector ar draws y DU ac yn rhyngwladol, er enghraifft:

Y Sefydliad HWN, Caergrawnt

MacQuarie University, Melbourne, Awstralia
Swinburne University, Melbourne, Awstralia

Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Hywel Dda
Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Bae Abertawe

Prosiectau ymchwil:

Gwerthuso a hwyluso Cymuned Ymarfer ar gyfer Rhaglen Datblygu Uwch Arweinwyr ARCH/Ysgol Reolaeth Prifysgol Abertawe (cyfredol). Rydym wedi cynllunio ac yn cymhwyso fframwaith gwerthuso ffurfiannol i gefnogi cyflwyno rhaglen ddatblygu sy'n cael ei chyflwyno gan yr Ysgolion Rheolaeth a Pheirianneg ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe fel rhan o Academi Sgiliau STEM Cymru. Mae ymagwedd dulliau cymysg yn cynnwys cyfarwyddwyr gweithredol y ddau sefydliad a pherthynas agos â'r Gymuned Ymarfer i sicrhau bod cyfranogwyr yn cael eu cefnogi i gymhwyso sgiliau newydd ac i newid arferion gwaith i ymgorffori ffyrdd newydd o weithio. Caiff adroddiadau gwerthuso eu cyfleu i Grŵp Llywio Rhaglen lefel weithredol i sicrhau bod dysgu'n cael ei gymhwyso'n gyflym.

Effaith technoleg ddigidol ar hunaniaeth broffesiynol:

Mae’r ymchwil hwn sy’n seiliedig ar arolwg yn cael ei gynnal gyda sawl corff proffesiynol o’r sector iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru.

Effaith gofal iechyd sy'n seiliedig ar werth ar hunaniaeth broffesiynol:

Mae'r ymchwil hwn sy'n seiliedig ar arolwg yn cael ei gynnal gyda Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Hywel Dda a Phrifysgol Abertawe.

Arolwg Llesiant Nyrsio a Bydwreigiaeth – Cam dau:

Mae'r ymchwil hwn sy'n seiliedig ar arolwg yn cael ei gynnal gyda Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Hywel Dda. Caiff canlyniadau’r arolwg hwn eu cymharu â cham 1 a gynhaliwyd cyn Covid-19. Bydd argymhellion yr astudiaeth yn cael eu defnyddio gan y Bwrdd Iechyd i barhau i ddatblygu eu strategaeth a gwasanaethau Iechyd a Llesiant. I gael rhagor o fanylion am y prosiect hwn, cysylltwch â'r Athro Sharon Williams.

Prosiectau ymchwil diweddar:

Niwed mewn iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yn oes COVID:

Roedd y prosiect ymchwil her 90 diwrnod hwn a gomisiynwyd gan Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru – Gwelliant Cymru yn cynnwys adolygiad cyflym o’r llenyddiaeth berthnasol, cyfweliad ag arbenigwyr allweddol yn y maes, gweithdai dilysu. Wele copi o'r adroddiad yma - Avoidable Harm in Health and Social Care

Cysylltwch â Dr Alan Willson am ragor o fanylion am y prosiect hwn.

Gwerthusiad o Gydweithredfa Gwella Ansawdd:

Comisiynwyd yr astudiaeth werthuso hon gan Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru – Gwelliant Cymru a gwerthusodd Gydweithredfa Gwella Ansawdd a dreialwyd gan Fwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Hywel Dda. Defnyddiodd y gwerthusiad aml-ddull hwn ddau fframwaith gwerthuso a oedd eisoes yn bodoli. Am fwy o fanylion am yr astudiaeth hon, cysylltwch â'r Athro Sharon Williams.

Gwerthusiad o Raglen Addysg Modelu Mathemategol ABCi:

Gan ddefnyddio fframwaith gwerthuso hybrid, archwiliodd yr astudiaeth hon gynllun a gweithrediad rhaglen addysg modelu mathemategol Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Aneurin Bevan a ddyluniwyd ac a ddatblygwyd gan aelodau o’r tîm gwella. Am ragor o fanylion am y prosiect cysylltwch â'r Athro Sharon Williams.

Gwerthuso Gwasanaethau Canser yng Nghymru:

Mae Dr Alan Willson wedi bod yn gweithio gyda chwmni o’r enw Frontline i gefnogi Canser Macmillan Cymru i ddylunio gwerthusiad o’i fframwaith gofal sylfaenol newydd. Mae hwn yn waith arloesol i ddatblygu rôl gofal sylfaenol mewn atgyfeirio cynnar a phobl sy’n byw gyda chanser ac yn goroesi canser.

Cymrodoriaeth y Sefydliad Iechyd:
Dyfarnwyd cymrodoriaeth Gwyddor Gwella’r Sefydliad Iechyd i’r Athro Sharon Williams yn 2014. Teitl ei phrosiect ymchwil yw ‘Lean, Agile or Leagile?', Astudiaeth ddichonoldeb yw hon i archwilio a chymharu defnyddioldeb technolegau llwybr ac ystyried sut y gellir defnyddio’r technolegau hyn i wella dyluniad dau lwybr gofal - Clefyd Rhwystrol Cronig yr Ysgyfaint (COPD) a Chlefyd Huntington.
