A former nurse who was awarded the British Empire Medal in the New Year’s Honours List has spoken of her pride at having served in the town’s hospital for the past 20 years.

Jennifer Ladd, an emergency nurse practitioner at the minor injuries unit at Cardigan Hospital until her retirement last September, received the BEM for services to Ceredigion and Hywel Dda University Health Board.

Jennifer is pictured receiving the BEM award from Sara Edwards, Lord Lieutenant of Dyfed, accompanied by Flight Lieutenant Luke Webbon-Thomas, at the council’s Penmorfa offices in Aberaeron.
