The Bevan Health and Wellbeing Centre
We are delighted that phase one of the £19m Bevan Health and Wellbeing Centre in Tredegar is now open to patients.
The Bevan Health and Wellbeing Centre is built on the former site of where the Tredegar General Hospital once stood and is located in the hometown of Aneurin Bevan, the founder of the NHS.
Glan-Yr-Afon Surgery, Tredegar Medical Practice and Tredegar Health Centre Pharmacy have now moved into the new centre and from 22nd January 2024 has opened its doors to patients.
Phase two of the development will start in the next few weeks with the old Tredegar Health Centre being demolished to make way for the car parking for the new centre. During phase two additional services such as dental, health visiting, podiatry and lymphedema will also open to the public. Aneurin Bevan University Health Board anticipate that the centre will be fully operational later this year.
Autumn Update 2023
The Bevan Health & Wellbeing Centre will be a state-of-the-art facility, designed to provide care closer to home and support the health and wellbeing of the local community. Originally planned to open November this year, due to unforeseen delays in the building work the centre will now open early 2024. While this delay is undoubtedly disappointing, Aneurin Bevan University Health Board has made every effort to ensure the quality of this fabulous new addition for the local community of Tredegar.
We want to thank the local community for their support and patience, and we look forward to welcoming you to The Bevan Health & Wellbeing Centre in 2024.
Summer Update 2023
Below is a walk-through of The Bevan Health & Wellbeing Centre, showing the progress of the development over the last couple of months.
Spring Update 2023
Since our last update in October, The Bevan Health and Wellbeing Centre is moving towards the last phase of the development with the brickwork well underway and the final part of the roof in progress. The internal work has starting, forming a lot of the GP rooms and admin spaces.
The project team are really excited about the development and we can now see it coming together, to produce a fantastic health and wellbeing centre for the residents of Tredegar.
Autumn Update 2022
Since our last update in April The Bevan Health and Wellbeing Centre has really started to take shape, in recent weeks the roofing has been completed, concrete slabs laid and steel framing system erected, this has allowed for the exterior brickwork and cladding to be started. The pitched roof and slates will be added to make the building watertight and weatherproof ahead of the winter months, which will enable us to move onto the internal fit out.
As part of the project, Kier Construction have worked closely with the local community, working with the local Tredegar Primary and Comprehensive Schools, hosting workshops with internally acclaimed Welsh artist, Nathan Wyburn, who will also design the artwork for the building, as well as providing career talks, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) sessions and work experience. They have also provided work for apprentices, graduates, trainees, totalling an impressive 231 weeks work.
