Rotary club donates bladder scanner

A portable bladder scanner has been donated to Peninsula Village Aged Care Facility by the Rotary Club of Umina Beach.

This new equipment will benefit the elderly, frail and demented residents who can now be scanned and treated instead of being transported to Gosford Hospital.

Nurse practioner, Ms Claire Abbott said: "Quite often frail residents are not aware what is causing them pain.

"These residents are the immediate beneficiaries of this gift," Ms Abbott said.

"We are looking at the benefits of conducting a continence program," she said.

"This new scanner will help make this possible."
