Teulu Jones - Gareth Jones

Gareth is 38 years old and lives in Talybont, Ceredigion. On his Saturday cycle ride with the ‘Wheelers’, Gareth has a collision with a car, near Aberaeron. Currently, paramedics would take Gareth to Glangwili Hospital, which is 31 miles away, as it is the temporary local trauma unit whilst we await a new Urgent and Planned
Care Hospital.

In the future, if we had an Urgent and Planned Care Hospital, Gareth would be taken directly to this hospital.
The journey to the two site options in Whitland would be approximately 36 miles from the scene of the accident in Aberaeron, or 37 miles to the site in St Clears. The
difference in journey time between the three sites is negligible and unlikely to result in any impact on the timeliness to access care for Gareth.
