St Katherine's Surgery in Ledbury is to have its own hi-tech "syringe driver", thanks to donations from the relatives and friends of the late Rev. Robert Dore and Richard Hopkins, both of whom lived locally.
The district nurses based at the surgery decided that money given in memory of the two men would be well used purchasing the £729 device.
Until now, the nurses have had to borrow syringe drivers from the Cottage Hospital.
District Nurse Fiona Griffiths expressed her gratitude for the donations and explained that the equipment could deliver a continual and measured drug into a patient over a period of 24 hours to alleviate pain.
"It will be nice to have our own," she said.
