The new hub will transform elective orthopaedic services at Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board and provides benefits for patients, staff and the wider North Wales community, by delivering a planned 1,900 procedures a year. Specializing in high volume, low complexity care, the dedicated hub will increase annual surgical activity, by providing orthopaedic services away from hospitals, it will reduce the effects unscheduled care can have on elective treatment and reduce the chance of surgeries being postponed. The next steps involve internal works, with decorating already underway inside Aberconwy Ward with the floors and doors installed within the next month. Remedial works within the x-ray department are complete with the extension of the unit starting. Cladding and roofing will be finished over next month on the new theatres to ensure it is watertight and then the internal works will begin. Nicola Eatherington, Project Director of the Elective Orthopaedic Hub said: “It has been fantastic to see the Hub take shape over the last few months. “We were delighted to recently welcome our Chief Executive to the site and provide her with a tour and an update on where we are up to as a project. “The additional surgical capacity the building will provide will have a significant impact on the number of patients we can treat. “We would also like to thank staff at Llandudno Hospital and the neighbours nearby for their patience during these works.” Cookies are small text files saved on your phone, tablet or computer when you visit a website.
