Spire Healthcare Abergele has opened its doors to patients.
The £5.5m clinic will provide people across North Wales access to a range of surgical treatments and diagnoses, and has created 14 new jobs in addition to the nine colleagues already in post.
Patients will also have access to imaging and diagnostic technology, as well as a range of experienced consultants to choose from.
Formally opened today by entrepreneur, philanthropist and Spire shareholder Steve Morgan CBE, accompanied by Spire non-executive director Debbie White and CEO Justin Ash, the clinic in Abergele’s North Wales Business Park will deliver up to 1,500 operations every year to patients who don’t require an overnight stay.
People will have access to diagnostic scans, women’s and men’s health treatments, pain management, as well as orthopaedic, dermatological, and urological treatments.
Ophthalmic treatments are also soon to be made available at the clinic.
The Abergele clinic is part of a network of new Spire clinics being developed to complement its 39 hospitals across Wales, Scotland and England.
The investment into Abergele is in addition to the £11.4m Chesney Court Outpatient & Diagnostic Centre at Spire Yale in Wrexham, which opened in February 2023.
The clinic includes space for consultations, X-rays and ultrasounds, minor procedures and a discharge suite.
It also includes a drinks station in the main waiting area and lockers where people can safety store their belongings while undergoing their procedures.
Upon completion of their treatment, Spire said some patients will require a period of recovery and will be assisted to a recliner space in a separate recovery area ahead of being discharged.
It added people needing more complex care or treatment that requires an overnight stay, can be referred to Spire Yale Hospital in Wrexham and other surrounding Spire hospitals.
