PATIENTS at a Cleobury Mortimer GP practice are saving to help provide a piece of vital life-saving equipment.

The Patients Voice Group hopes to have £800 by Christmas for equipment used in the diagnosis of prostate cancer.

It comes after the handover of more than £2,000 from the group and Cleobury Mortimer Parish Council to buy equipment to help patients to breathe more easily.

The spirometer can measure the amount of air being taken into and expelled from the lungs.

An appeal has been made for more people to join the surgery Patients Voice Group.
