Big changes are coming to Prince Philip Hospital’s minor injury unit. It’s official: the 24-hour service won’t be returning. But don’t worry, there’s a new plan in place! 🏥

After careful consideration, Hywel Dda University Health Board has decided to transform the unit into a 12-hour urgent care treatment centre. What does this mean for you? More services available for those non-life-threatening issues that need attention quick, no overnight stay required!

⏰ Opening hours? Every day from 8am to 8pm.

This change is about enhancing services and dealing with staffing challenges. More sustainable, more attractive for future hires, and addressing community needs—it’s a win-win! 💪

Locals have voiced their concerns and the health board listened. The decision comes after a lot of community involvement. It’s a step forward to ensure safer and better care for all. 🗣️💬

With approximately 31,000 people using the service annually, this move is aimed at offering something robust without compromising safety or quality. 🚑

Remember, for serious concerns, Carmarthen’s Glangwili Hospital and Swansea’s Morriston Hospital are there for you. They might seem far, but they’re closer than you think when it’s really needed! 🚗💨

The changes have even got the thumbs up from local groups like the Save Our Services Prince Philip Action Network! They believe the upgrade is not just for now but future-proof too. 📈

So, here’s to a new chapter in healthcare for Llanelli! 🎉 Keep staying informed and take care. 💙
