Chief Nursing Officer award for lead radiology nurse
A RADIOLOGY nurse at Hywel Dda University Health Board has been recognised at this year’s Chief Nursing Officer’s Conference in Cardiff.
Angharad Hanbury, Lead Radiology Nurse at the Health Board, was presented with a Nursing Excellence Award by Sue Tranka, the Chief Nursing Officer for Wales.
The award recognises Angharad’s leadership and contribution to improving patient care and services within radiology since she took up the post in 2023.
During her time in the role, Angharad has successfully secured recognition for radiology departments as approved placement areas for student nurses. She has also played a key role in developing important clinical pathways and protocols, including those for diagnostic coronary angiograms and the standard operating procedure for temporary pacemakers.
In addition, she has led a pilot scheme introducing a standardised approach to nursing documentation through the development of the radiology nurse record.
Sharon Daniel, Director of Nursing, Quality and Patient Experience at Hywel Dda University Health Board, said: “On behalf of the Health Board, I congratulate Angharad on this prestigious award and thank her for all she has done — and continues to do — to improve patient care and radiology services.”
Angharad said she was grateful for the recognition.
“I am incredibly grateful to be recognised for the work I have done, and I will continue to work on radiology service improvements alongside my radiology colleagues,” she said.
Sarah Procter, Deputy Head of Radiology at the Health Board, added: “I am delighted that Angharad has received this award. She exemplifies the qualities of an exceptional nursing leader, and I am proud that her work for our patients, staff and the radiology service has been recognised.”

Milford Haven disturbance sees two women arrested
TWO WOMEN were arrested following a disturbance at the Mount Estate in Milford Haven on Saturday night (May 9).
The Herald understands the arrests followed an altercation involving four people.
Video circulating on social media shows two women lying face down on the ground outside while handcuffed and restrained by police officers.
In the footage, officers can be heard telling one woman that she is being arrested on suspicion of assaulting police.
Both women were then taken away, each flanked by officers.
Other women can be seen speaking to those detained while they remain on the ground.
The Herald has contacted Dyfed-Powys Police for further details, including confirmation of the number of arrests, the nature of the incident, and whether anyone was injured.

ELIZABETH COURT SCENE STOOD DOWN AFTER DOMESTIC INCIDENT
A FOUR-HOUR police standoff in Pembroke Dock has ended with a 21-year-old man arrested on suspicion of inflicting grievous bodily harm.
Dyfed-Powys Police said the incident at Elizabeth Court has now been stood down and the scene released.
The man has been taken to hospital to receive medical attention.
Chief Inspector Dominic Jones said: “I want to thank local residents for their patience while we dealt with this incident. I understand that such a large police presence in a residential street is concerning to see, and I’m grateful to everyone who co-operated with our officers at the scene.
“I’d like to offer my reassurance that our units responded to an isolated domestic incident, and there was no further threat posed to the wider community. The scene has now been released, and we will investigate the full circumstances of this morning’s incident.”

Officers were called to the address this morning (Saturday, May 9), with a large police presence remaining in the area for several hours.
Eyewitnesses told The Herald that police were asking a man upstairs to come down, with tasers drawn during the incident.
Police dogs, specialist officers and what appeared to be a negotiator were also seen at the scene.
The incident lasted from around 11:00am until about 3:10pm.
