Beth ddylwn I ei wneud?
Ddylwn I fynd at y meddyg?

(Welsh Language Guide)

Following the success of the 'What should I do? Do I go to the doctor?' minor illness guide throughout the UK, RTFB Publishing of Southampton has introduced a Welsh language version of the popular health management booklet.

The new guide entitled 'Beth ddylwn I ei wneud? Ddylwn I fynd at y meddyg?' is written to help people recognise and appropriately self-treat more than 40 minor illnesses or conditions including: back pain, burns, colds and runny noses, diarrhoea, earache, fever, influenza, irritable bowel syndrome, sore throat, vomiting and wounds.

The new health management guide, which is the first of its kind aimed at Welsh speakers, will address approximately half a million people in Wales who use the Welsh language.

"The advent of the Welsh Assembly has stimulated a rise in both Welsh children and adults studying the Welsh language," explains Paul Buckley, RTFB Publishing's chairman. "The demand for Welsh language health education literature is set to rise dramatically in the coming years. There are areas of Wales, notably in the Western and Northern regions (Gwynedd and Dyfed in particular) where the Welsh language remains strong and highly visible. The booklets are very popular with rural communities which face greater difficulties accessing primary care facilities."

The English language version of the booklet, 'What should I do? Do I go to the doctor?', is being used by more than 36 health authorities and health boards across the UK. Thousands of GP surgeries and pharmacies actively use the booklet and millions of UK people have benefited from the health advice in the booklet since its UK launch in 1995.
