Community nurses in Carmarthenshire have new home care bags thanks to donations from the public.

More than £15,000 of donations to Hywel Dda Health Charities, the official charity of Hywel Dda Health Board, went to providing these bags.

The bags offer a practical and professional solution for transporting important items such as equipment, samples, dressings and records.

The bags even feature an integrated cool bag to ensure medication and samples are kept at the correct temperature.

Rebecca George, community clinical lead nurse, said: "We are so grateful that donations from the community have enabled us to purchase the 255 home care bags for our community nurses in Carmarthenshire who undertake interventions within a residential setting.

"The bags will really help the team to conduct their roles in a more organised manner which will boost staff morale and help them feel a sense of pride in their work.

"The bags are a great tool for nursing staff who spend the majority of the working day out in the community and will help them deliver their fantastic care even more efficiently."

Hywel Dda Health Charities head Nicola Llewelyn added: "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."
