The equipment will help diagnose urinary retention and other bladder issues
A friendship society, which organises social events and wellbeing support for people, has donated funding to purchase a £12,000 bladder scanner for the Horton General Hospital.
Two members of the North Gloucestershire Oddfellows recently visited the hospital to see the equipment, which is now being used in the Emergency Department to help diagnose urinary retention and other bladder issues.
The donation was suggested my Oddfellows member Monica Deakin, who receives regular cancer treatment at the Horton. She took a tour of the Emergency Department with fellow Oddfellow Bill Butler to see the scanner in-situ.
Monica said: “It’s just brilliant to see the scanner there and that it’s already being used. For me, it’s a small thank you back to the hospital’s teams who show me such incredible care on my visits.”
Ella Cooper, Programme Officer from Horton General Hospital Charity, said: “This kind donation is already having an immediate impact helping patients in our hospital. We’re grateful indeed to North Gloucestershire Oddfellows for their generous support.”
