Yn y blynyddoedd diwethaf rwyf wedi gweithio ar lefel uwch yn Ymddiriedolaeth GIG Ysbytai Prifysgol Nottingham ac mae fy rôl bresennol yn arwain Gwasanaethau Caffael o fewn GIG Cymru. Rwy'n gobeithio bod fy mhrofiad dros nifer o flynyddoedd o weithio mewn gwahanol amgylcheddau gwleidyddol a gweithredol yn y GIG wedi fy ngalluogi i ddatblygu ymdeimlad craff o'r hyn sy'n gweithio'n dda (a ddim mor dda). Edrychaf ymlaen at barhau â’r gwaith gyda’m cydweithwyr caffael ledled Cymru a thu hwnt i helpu i gwrdd â’r heriau presennol a niferus sy’n dod i’r amlwg lle gall ein proffesiwn wneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol i’n poblogaeth cleifion a’r gymdeithas ehangach.
