RPS updates Welsh Language Guide to support pharmacists across the UK

The Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) is proud to announce the update to its Welsh Language guide. The guide aids pharmacists in utilising and promote the Welsh language in their daily practice.

The updated guide will help pharmacists with prescribing and dispensing Welsh language prescriptions and sets out the responsibilities of pharmacies in Wales in adhering to Welsh language legislation. The guide is not only for pharmacies in Wales but also for any pharmacy across the UK who may be presented with a Welsh language prescription.

RPS Wales Director Elen Jones said:

“The updated Welsh Language guide directly reflects the changes in legislation and pharmacy practice since the first version was written in 2014. The guide promotes the equal use of Welsh and English within pharmacies in Wales and aids pharmacists on how best to use Welsh in providing patient care.”

Mae’r Gymdeithas Fferyllol Frenhinol (RPS) yn falch o gyhoeddi’r diweddariad i’w canllaw Iaith Gymraeg. Mae’r canllaw yn cynorthwyo fferyllwyr i ddefnyddio a hyrwyddo’r Gymraeg yn eu hymarfer beunyddiol.

Bydd y canllaw wedi’i ddiweddaru yn cynorthwyo fferyllwyr i ragnodi a dosbarthu presgripsiynau Cymraeg ac yn nodi cyfrifoldebau fferyllfeydd yng Nghymru o ran cadw at ddeddfwriaeth y Gymraeg. Mae’r canllaw nid yn unig ar gyfer fferyllfeydd yng Nghymru ond hefyd ar gyfer unrhyw fferyllfa ar draws y DU pan gyflwynir gyda phresgripsiwn yn y Gymraeg.

Dywedodd Elen Jones Cyfarwyddwr Cymru:

“Mae’r canllaw Cymraeg diweddaraf yn adlewyrchu’n uniongyrchol y newidiadau mewn deddfwriaeth ac arferion fferylliaeth ers i’r fersiwn gyntaf gael ei ysgrifennu yn 2014. Mae’r canllaw yn hyrwyddo defnydd cyfartal o’r Gymraeg a’r Saesneg o fewn fferyllfeydd yng Nghymru ac yn cynorthwyo fferyllwyr ar y ffordd orau i ddefnyddio’r Gymraeg wrth ddarparu gofal i gleifion.”
