The Rotary Club of Brixham has thanked Rotary District for lending the use of their display trailer to provide a Covid-19 swabbing station.
Those visiting the Ramsay Health Care Centre will have noticed the display trailer being used uniquely.
President, Adrian Laurie, said: “I was delighted to ask District for the use of the vehicle in this way when Jaci Evans, one of our members who cover both Mount Stuart Hospital in Torquay and Exeter Medical, came up with the idea.
“District also saw this as another of the many ways in which Rotary clubs help their communities, and the trailer was made available immediately.
“Before the complete lockdown, I was able to collect the trailer and deliver it to Mount Stuart Hospital in Torquay and then move it to its current location at Exeter Medical, where it is being used to swab patients for coronavirus, prior to their procedures.
“The trailer provides the space and cover required, via its extendable canopy, for nursing staff to be able to swab patients in any weather in their vehicles, which can be parked alongside the unit.”
The trailer will remain available to Exeter Medical until it is no longer required and a contribution by Ramsay Health is being provided to support Rotary charities.
