Police are looking for two men after an attempted robbery on Abertridwr cycle path.

The two would-be robbers approached a 26-year-old man walking on the path, which runs between Abertridwr and the Murco garage in Trecenydd, on Wednesday May 29 at 4pm.

Police said the victim, who was walking alone, suffered minor injuries. The two men ran off down the cycle path in the direction of Trecenydd.

Both men were white, in their 20s, of skinny build and were wearing dark clothing. One of the men had a distinctive nose which was either broken or swollen.

Police are appealing for any witnesses who may have seen the suspects on the cycle path or in the area around the time of the incident.

Anyone with any information can contact Gwent Police on 101 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 and quote log number 330 29/5/13

  • A new health board initiative is changing the way menopause care is delivered in GP surgeries across Gwent. The Menopause Champions Project, introduced in June this year by Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, aims to give patients going through menopause better access to informed and consistent support from their local practice teams. The scheme was developed by Dr Jayne Forrester-Paton, a menopause and sexual and reproductive health specialist, alongside Dr Michelle Olver, clinical lead of the menopause team, and nurse consultant Nikki Noble. Together, they set out to equip GPs and practice nurses with up-to-date knowledge and practical tools to improve care. So far, 41 GP practices in the region now have a trained “Menopause Champion” — a clinician who can provide advice and guidance on both hormonal and non-hormonal treatment options. These champions are backed by a network of colleagues and specialists to help them stay confident in managing more complex cases. Dr Forrester-Paton said the project had already made a strong start and would continue to grow: “We are proud of how successful this project has been so far and will continue to grow, with plans to expand educational sessions for clinicians, offer virtual case discussions to improve care for complex menopause cases and strengthen the collaboration between primary care and specialist menopause services. “The Menopause Champions Project is helping to ensure that menopause is treated with the same care and attention as any other health issue, giving patients the support they need, when they need it.”
