European network visits 19 Hills Health & Wellbeing Centre
On 21st May, Aneurin Bevan University Health Board was delighted to welcome 30 members of the European Regional and Local Health Authorities (EUREGHA) to 19 Hills Health & Wellbeing Centre which opened in Ringland, Newport earlier this year.
The EUREGHA is made up of members across Europe who learnt about the purpose of 19 Hills Health & Wellbeing Centre and how it provides an opportunity for an integrated model of care for the local community, in line with Welsh Government strategy.
Emma Spear, Deputy Director for Health, Social Care & Early Years Group Director General’s Office, Welsh Government comments:
“As a network EUREGHA is very interested in learning from one another on best practices in community-based care. We therefore really appreciated the opportunity to visit 19 Hills Health & Wellbeing Centre as an excellent example of how we are offering integrated, community-based services to the people of Wales.”
Lloyd Hambridge, Divisional Director of Primary Care, Community Services, and Complex and Long Term Care comments:
“It was a privilege to showcase the 19 Hills Health & Wellbeing Centre to our European colleagues. This centre represents a significant step forward in delivering truly integrated, person-centred care in the heart of the community. We’re proud to be part of a model that not only supports health and wellbeing but also strengthens collaboration across services to meet the needs of local people both now and for future generations.”
