Mae gen i gefndir mewn Ffisioleg Glinigol sy'n arbenigo mewn ffisioleg anadlol a chysgu. Rwyf wedi gweithio mewn amryw o wasanaethau'r GIG yng Nghymru a Lloegr er 1997, ac yn cynnal contract clinigol anrhydeddus yn Ysbyty Singleton.

Rwyf wedi bod yn ymwneud â goruchwyliaeth glinigol ac addysgu ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe ers dros ddeng mlynedd a manteisiais ar y cyfle gwych i ymuno â'r tîm yn llawn amser fel Uwch Ddarlithydd yn 2017.

Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n gweithio ar brosiectau ymchwil sy'n edrych ar gwsg yn ystod beichiogrwydd, a gyda phrosiectau sy'n rhedeg trwy Rwydwaith Anadlol Prifysgol Abertawe.

Rwy'n Gadeirydd ARTP Cymru, y rhwydwaith proffesiynol rhanbarthol ar gyfer ffisiolegwyr anadlol a chysgu. Rwy'n angerddol am hyrwyddo rôl Ffisioleg Anadlol a Chwsg yn y GIG i'r cyhoedd, clinigwyr a llunwyr polisi.

PPS107 Foundations in Human Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology

This module will provide an introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the major organ systems as well as providing an overview of some common diseases.
PPS208 Human Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology II

This module will build upon the underpinning knowledge gained in the compulsory year I module PPS107 Foundations in Human Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology. It will provide the opportunity for students to develop and further their understanding of human anatomy and physiology to an advanced level. It will also allow the student to a gain more detailed knowledge of some of common diseases seen in the general population and the current treatment options available.
SHC151 Anatomy and Physiology for Healthcare Science

This is an introductory module to the structure and function of the human body, delivered with a focus on healthcare science.
SHC152 Pathophysiology for Healthcare Science

This is an introductory module to the structure and function of the human body and how it is affected by disease, delivered with a focus on healthcare science.
SHC158 Respiratory and Sleep Physiology

This module will introduce the clinical practice of respiratory physiology to students undertaking the BSc (Hons) Healthcare Science in the division of cardiovascular, respiratory and sleep sciences.
SHC232 Instrumentation Signal Processing and Imaging

This is a module for students following Healthcare Science programmes that details the theory and application of physiological measurement and imaging in healthcare.
SHC238 Pathophysiology of Common Cardiovascular and Respiratory Conditions

This module will prepare students for their role in clinical practice by ensuring they understand the pathophysiology of common conditions that result in referral to cardiovascular, respiratory and sleep services.
SHC241 Respiratory and Sleep Physiology - Diagnostic Interventions

This module will further develop clinical knowledge and skills of respiratory physiology for students undertaking the BSc (Hons) Health Care Science in the division of cardiovascular, respiratory and sleep sciences.
SHC242 Respiratory and Sleep Physiology - Physiology

This module is intended for students undertaking the BSc (Hons) Healthcare Science and will further expand knowledge and clinical skills in Respiratory Physiology.
SHC327 Respiratory Physiology 3 -Pathophysiology, Diagnosis and Clinical Management of Asthma & Respiratory Failure

This module will further develop clinical knowledge and skills of respiratory physiology for students undertaking the BSc (Hons) Healthcare Science in the division of cardiovascular, respiratory and sleep sciences.
SHC331 Healthcare Science Research Project

This module will facilitate the planning, execution and dissemination of a research project with direct relevance to the clinical specialism. Students will be expected to plan, execute and disseminate a literature review, audit or service improvement project.
SHC339 Respiratory and Sleep Physiology - Sleep Diagnostics and Therapy

This module will further develop clinical knowledge and skills of respiratory physiology for students undertaking the BSc (Hons) Health Care Science in the division of cardiovascular, respiratory and sleep sciences.
SHE115 Anatomy & Physiology (1)

This module continues with the College of Paramedics¿ themes and domains of the curriculum framework and focuses on developing knowledge around anatomy and physiology of systems within the human body, exploring both normal and abnormal changes and how abnormal pathological changes are represented by clinical features associated with common conditions. This module will also develop knowledge around drug calculations. Learners will be supported with academic skills and expected to engage with the e-learning component of this module which will support their educational journey and prepare them for summative assessments.
SHE220 Out of Hospital Management of Medical Conditions

Building on the previous modules and practice experience, this module will enable learners to enhance their understanding of pathophysiology and develop skills to effectively manage community based care. The module will facilitate learners to undertake a safe consultation that includes the broader issues of health and social care, enabling appropriate clinical decision making that meets the needs of the patient and their relatives or carers. Leaners will develop their understanding of health promotion, appropriate pathways of care and enhance their skills towards effective and safe management of patients within the community setting. Developing problem based learning will be facilitated using a blended approach for professional development; with opportunities for learners to work and learn within an interprofessional setting. Practice based learning will be supported by a week placement in a hospice and a further week placement within the community supported by Palliative and End of Life Care teams. Further placements will be undertaken on an emergency ambulance and or rapid response vehicle with the Welsh Ambulance Service. The module will be supported by e- learning.

SHE220W Rheoli Cyflyrau Meddygol y Tu Allan i'r Ysbyty

Gan adeiladu ar y modiwlau blaenorol a phrofiad ymarferol, bydd y modiwl hwn yn galluogi'r dysgwyr i wella eu dealltwriaeth o bathoffisioleg a meithrin sgiliau i reoli'n effeithiol ofal yn y gymuned a'r tu allan i'r ysbyty. Bydd y modiwl yn rhoi cyfle i'r dysgwyr ymgymryd ag ymgynghoriad diogel sy'n cynnwys materion ehangach iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, gan eu galluogi i wneud penderfyniadau clinigol priodol sy'n diwallu anghenion y claf a'i berthnasau neu ei ofalwyr. Bydd y dysgwyr yn meithrin eu dealltwriaeth o hybu iechyd a llwybrau gofal priodol, ac yn gwella eu sgiliau er mwyn rheoli cleifion yn effeithiol ac yn ddiogel yn y gymuned. Caiff dysgu ar sail problemau ei ddatblygu drwy ddefnyddio ymagwedd gyfunol at ddatblygiad proffesiynol, a bydd cyfleoedd i ddysgwyr weithio a dysgu mewn lleoliad rhyngbroffesiynol. Caiff dysgu ar sail ymarfer ei ategu gan leoliad gwaith am wythnos mewn hosbis a lleoliad gwaith arall am wythnos yn y gymuned drwy gymorth timau gofal lliniarol a gofal diwedd oes. Bydd lleoliadau gwaith eraill mewn ambiwlans argyfwng a/neu gerbyd ymateb cyflym gyda Gwasanaeth Ambiwlans Cymru. Bydd y modiwl yn cael ei ategu gan e-ddysgu.
SHF100 Anatomy and Physiology 2

This module aims to provide an understanding of the structure and function of the key systems which is a core requirement of osteopathic medicine. This module builds upon knowledge introduced in SHF109 Anatomy and Physiology 1, and develops the understanding of the structure and functions of the key systems of the body. This knowledge will underpin the pathophysiology and therapeutics covered in Year 2.
SHF109 Anatomy and Physiology 1

This module utilises lecture and laboratory based study to explore the anatomy and physiology of the major body systems. Furthermore, this module will be used to underpin the knowledge required to understand clinical presentation, diagnosis and osteopathic management of pathological conditions.
