🚨 Exciting news for Swansea! 🚨 Morriston Hospital is set for a major overhaul, transforming into a state-of-the-art ‘health campus.’ This ambitious project will feature a brand new emergency department and a critical care centre, complete with rooftop helipad, on land just north of Mynydd Gelli Wastad Road.
But that’s not all! The plans include a specialised centre for chest and lung surgeries, a cutting-edge Swansea University life sciences building, and much more. A new access road is also in the works to connect to the hospital from the M4, ensuring smoother access for everyone.
Existing facilities will see significant upgrades too, with more single rooms in refurbished wards. And, to top it all off, the campus will be eco-friendly, featuring lush green spaces and a cycle path along the new road.
The new development is not just about buildings; it’s about better connecting Swansea’s communities to high-quality healthcare. With Swansea’s population expected to grow and life expectancy gaps to address, these plans couldn’t come at a better time.
Local discussions and consultations are ongoing to tackle important community concerns like environmental impact and access to nature. While a new consultation about the roadway is open till September 1, your thoughts are valued in shaping this vital project.
Swansea Council’s leader, Morriston councillor Rob Stewart, is fully supportive, excited for the enhanced connectivity and expanded services that these changes will bring to Morriston Hospital.
Stay tuned for more updates as we move closer to turning these plans into reality! 🌟🏥
