✨ New Vein Finder Technology funded for our Radiology Team! ✨

This specialist equipment is used by simply holding the device above the chosen area and the veins underneath are displayed on the surface of the patient’s skin. This helps staff find the most effective vein for treatment, as well as saving time and improving patient comfort, especially for those with difficult to access veins.

Two new vein finders have been funded for adult and paediatric patients through Cheltenham and Gloucester Hospitals Charity and Pied Piper Appeal. Thank you to all of our supporters who have helped make this innovative technology possible 💙
