Meet Cerys

Cerys loves long distance running, gritty crime dramas… and not having to go to the hospital to get her bi-annual Denosumab injection.

Cerys -Shaping Our Future Wellbeing - Cardiff and Vale University Health Board

With two teenage sons, an oversized Dachshund and a very busy full-time role as a library supervisor, Cerys is a woman who’s always on the go. 
She’s had generally good health all of her life until she was diagnosed with osteoporosis at the age of 50, and now has bi-annual Denosumab injections to reduce the risk of broken bones. Her day is rarely 9-5 and getting time off work to go to appointments isn’t always straightforward.

How Shaping Our Future Wellbeing is transforming Cerys' care

Denosumab - Shaping Our Future Wellbeing - Cardiff and Vale University Health Board

 

Cerys is now able to administer her own Denosumab injection at home thus reducing her visits to the clinic from every 6 months to every 3 years. She doesn’t have to use her annual leave for appointments anymore, which frees up time to spend with her boys (and Betsi the Dachshund, of course!).
