A state-of-the-art £24 million health centre has opened its doors in Cardigan.
The Cardigan Integrated Care Centre combines health and social care services under one roof and opened its doors to the public on Monday.
The opening of the centre follows hot on the heels of the launch of a similar initiative in Aberaeron.
As well as providing a modern, fit-for-purpose healthcare service including a GP practice, dental service and pharmacy, the new centre – which has been developed with £23.8m of Welsh Government funding – will host a range of other clinics and services delivered by Hywel Dda Health Board, the third sector, local authority and partner organisations.
These include a nurse-led minor injuries walk-in service, radiology, phlebotomy service, outpatient suite with consulting rooms, disease-specific services for heart failure, motor neurone disease clinics, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease services, rehabilitation services, mental health services and a base for the local community resource team in south Ceredigion, including the acute response and district nursing teams.
The new Cardigan Integrated Care Centre is based at Canolfan Gofal Interfredig Aberteifi, Rhodfa’r Felin.
