Hywel Dda University Health Board currently has part time cover in the epilepsy nurse specialist role and will recruit to a full-time position shortly.
The health board also recognises the need for a vagus nerve stimulation service in the area and intends to train one of its team to undertake the skilled technical process to provide the service.
