A leading independent healthcare group has opened a £5.5m state-of-the-art clinic – the first of its kind – in North Wales.
Spire Healthcare Abergele Clinic will provide people across North Wales with faster access to a wide range of surgical treatments and diagnoses, as well as access to advanced imaging and diagnostic technology, and a range of experienced consultants.
The Abergele clinic is part of a network of new Spire clinics being developed to complement its 39 hospitals across Wales, Scotland and England. This investment into Abergele is in addition to the £11.4m Chesney Court Outpatient and Diagnostic Centre at Spire Yale in Wrexham, which opened in February 2023.
The clinic has created 14 new jobs in addition to the nine colleagues already in post.
Justin Ash, CEO of Spire Healthcare, said:
“We’re delighted to be bringing high quality, personalised care into the community. There’s nowhere better to open the first of our new clinics than in North Wales, where we know there’s demand for the care we can provide. I’m looking forward to seeing the range of treatments available increasing, and then replicating what we’ve achieved here at Abergele elsewhere across Britain.”
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. 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.
The clinic was formally opened by entrepreneur, philanthropist and Spire shareholder Steve Morgan CBE, accompanied by Spire non-executive Director Debbie White and CEO Justin Ash.
Steve said:
“I am delighted to join Spire Healthcare on the opening of its Spire Abergele Clinic – the first of a network of clinics to bring high-quality healthcare closer to people, where they need it most. Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this exciting project to fruition.”
