The main changes to hospitals will be:
- Glangwili and Withybush hospitals will be re-purposed as community hospitals. Both will provide 24/7 GP-led urgent care centres. They will have facilities for day case procedures, as well as therapy and nurse-led beds for less critical needs and rehabilitation. Diagnostic support (x-ray, ultrasound etc.) will continue, as well as outpatient and other clinics.
- Our new Urgent and Planned Care Hospital will be the main hospital site for both urgent and planned care in our region (Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, and Pembrokeshire). It will provide specialist children, adult, and mental health services in a more centralised way. It will function as our Trauma Unit and main Emergency Department.
