Thanks to generous donations, Hywel Dda Health Charities - official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board, has been able to fund an oxygen saturation monitor with an ear probe for the Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) team at Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthenshire.

Oxygen saturation monitoring is a key part of the assessment of ILD patients as the scarring on the lungs can make it more difficult for oxygen to move across the scarring and into the lungs, especially when moving.

This equipment was funded thanks to a generous donation from Felinfach Football Club in memory of a local supporter sadly died from ILD.

Melanie Jowitt, ILD Specialist Nurse, said: “This new piece of equipment will allow clinical independent and further assessments of our ILD patients.”
