New medical equipment has been donated to a hospital by a League of Friends group.

Ludlow Community Hospital’s Minor Injuries Unit (MIU) received a high-specification ECG machine and an observation machine, both funded by the League of Friends.

The observation machine joins other monitors already in use on the Dinham ward.

Paul Mason, MIU lead at Ludlow Community Hospital, said: "Both machines are of a very high specification and will prove invaluable in the unit to enhance the staff's ability to provide top quality care to the patients."

Jennifer Gill, co-chair of the League, said: "The League is delighted once again to fund vital equipment for patient services at our local hospital.

"The Minor Injuries Unit plays such an important role in the wellbeing of South Shropshire's residents."
