Hywel Dda Health Charities has been able to purchase an ECG machine for the Renal Unit at Withybush Hospital, thanks to donations from local communities.
The new equipment will help with prompt patient diagnosis by clinicians and has been chosen because it is speedy and gives accurate recordings.
Clinic Manager Ann Davies said the new ECG machine had made a massive difference to patients and staff.
“Some of our patients have acute illness and having this new machine has made care a lot more seamless,” said Ann.
“This has been particularly useful during the pandemic when it became important for us to have our own ECG machine in the Renal Unit.”
Head of Hywel Dda Health Charities, Nicola Llewellyn, said: “The support of our local communities enables us to provide services over and above what the NHS can provide in the three counties of Hywel Dda and we are extremely grateful for every donation we receive.”
