A new community hospital has opened in Swindon . The latest addition to Edison Park, Dorcan, aims to help reduce NHS waiting times by treating patients within four weeks of them being referred, and increase patient choice by providing access to ophthalmology and gastroenterology services. It is also the first CHEC site to offer dermatology and ear, nose and throat services to patients.
The neighbour to the Adver’s offices has free parking and good transport links outside while inside includes a state-of-the-art clinical facility equipped with one ophthalmology theatre and one endoscopy suite. CHEC chief commercial officer John Bailey said: “For well over a decade, we’ve been trusted by the NHS to deliver healthcare services free of charge to local communities. “We’re very excited to be opening our doors in Swindon.
“Patient choice, exceptional care, and equity of access are central to our operations and ethos, which is why we’re proud to collaborate with NHS partners nationwide, helping to keep waiting times to a minimum while delivering the very best quality of care. “We look forward to welcoming our first patients, and invite residents to get in touch and learn more about how we work with the NHS to make much-needed treatments more readily accessible.” For more information, email engagement@chec.
