Mandy Rayani, Director of Nursing, Quality & Patient Experience at Hywel Dda University Health Board said: “We are incredibly proud to see the work of some of our newly qualified nurses, from different services across the health board, showcased in the BBC’s Rookie Nurses series.
“It shines a light on this inspiring profession and illustrates how varied the nursing role is and the different opportunities available within it.
“The programme reflects many of the highs and lows faced by nurses in healthcare today and it’s clear to see the enthusiasm, care and passion our nurses have for their patients and their profession.
“I wish to thank everyone involved in the making of the series, those in front of the camera and others behind the scenes.”
This uplifting factual series features a diverse cast of newly qualified nurses during their formative years, following their stories as they unfold and showing what it’s like to be a young nurse today.
