A hospital ward has transformed its quiet room into a calming space for patients and families thanks to charitable funding.
The improvements were made to Meurig Ward at Bronglais Hospital with support from Hywel Dda Health Charities, the official charity of Hywel Dda University Health Board.
Ellen Masters, ward administrator, said: "We are very grateful for the generous donations from our local communities which have enabled Hywel Dda Health Charities to provide funding to enhance the service we provide on the ward.
"Our quiet room has transformed into a more peaceful and welcoming environment where people can take a moment away from the clinical setting, reflect, and spend time with loved ones.
"Having a calm and comfortable space where patients and relatives can rest, talk privately, or simply take a break can make such a difference during what is often an emotional and worrying time.
"We are incredibly grateful for the funding, which has helped us create a space that promotes comfort, wellbeing and emotional support for those who need it most."
The room now features comfortable seating, bespoke artwork of Mwnt beach, and refreshment facilities including a coffee machine.
It offers a private area for relatives to spend time away from the ward, and is also used for sensitive discussions between staff, patients, and families.
Nicola Llewelyn, head of Hywel Dda Health Charities, said: "This is the perfect example of how your generous donations allow us to create more welcoming surroundings for patients, families and staff."
