Developing staff

Thanks to your generous donations, we are able to support staff learning and development and wellbeing initiatives.

Recently,  we've been able to fund an Understanding Blood Results course for Ruth Williams, Cancer Services Pharmacy Technician (pictured above).

“This learning has helped increase the capacity of out-patient clinics and free up higher level clinicians to see complex or new patients.”

Ruth is the first pharmacy technician to work within the cancer services team at the Hywel Dda University Health Board and regularly reviews and orders blood tests in the process of monitoring a patient’s tolerance and response to cancer treatment.

Ruth said: “I’m incredibly grateful that charitable funds allowed me to take part in the M&K Update Understanding Blood Results course.

“The course has given me the opportunity to improve my understanding and feel more confident in relaying results to patients. I am now able to correctly order and interpret bloods to ensure cost effectiveness of cancer treatments."
