Meet west Wales' NHS staff who worked through Christmas

They spent Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day with their colleagues looking after patients and those in need of care. 

"Across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire, our teams have been working in hospitals, primary care and within our communities this Christmas," said a spokesperson for the health board.

"We wanted to share some images of our staff who are working during Christmas and the Bank Holidays.

"From those who care for our patients, to all those who support the essential day-to-day running of our services, we are so grateful to each and every one of them."

Here are just some of those members of staff from the various hospitals across west Wales who have been caring for others this Christmas.
