Patients attending the macular degeneration eye clinic at the Westmorland General Hospital (WGH) will now benefit from improved facilitates and reduced waiting times thanks to investment of £240,000.

The injection treatment rooms now benefit from a state-of-the-art air management unit upholding air flow and temperature all year round.

The rooms have also received brand new equipment and now feature reclining treatment chairs so patients with disabilities can access the equipment easier.
