From 20 May 2024, most blood test services for people who live in the Llanelli area will be provided from the Mass Vaccination Centre at Dafen, Llanelli.

Moving blood test services from Antioch Centre to Dafen is Health Board’s response to feedback from patients who have raised concerns about service in Llanelli. Patients have previously shared feedback on the lack of availability of parking, room for patients waiting for their appointment, and the length of waiting list.

The move to the Mass Vaccination Centre in Dafen is a temporary move, the long-term ambition will include moving the service to be part of the Pentre Awel development in 2025.

HDdUHB has arranged for 2 x drop in sessions and requested service users to complete paper and/or online survey by 26 June 2024.

Dementia Friendly Swansea invited Llais to attend their awareness training sessions at Theatr Ffwrness in order to raise the profile of Llais and to listen to carers' experiences within the health and social care sector.

Two sessions ran – one in the morning and one in the afternoon with 19 people attending in the morning and 18 in the afternoon. Most of the attendees were Hywel Dda or council staff with a few carers. These staff included social workers, physiotherapies, nurses and community connectors. I gave a short presentation to both groups and had the chance to promote Llais to staff that see clients/ patients daily.

Pembrokeshire Hub (Collaborative working between PAVS, Health Board and Pembrokeshire County Council) organised a number of roadshow events across the county in order to reach communities and showcase the different services available.

We are delighted that you have chosen to volunteer with Llais. We depend on people like you to make sure people’s voices are heard in Wales.

Please take the time to read the handbook and come back to it when needed. It tells you who we are, what we do, and sets out the policies and processes we have in place to support and protect you and others.
