Wye Valley NHS Trust chief strategy and planning officer Alan Dawson said: “The demolition of the last of our 1940s hutted wards has made way for this unit, which will effectively be a standalone facility.

“It will be run in a way that means it won’t be affected by sudden pressures in our emergency department, which have curtailed routine elective procedures in the past.”

By providing dedicated facilities for these procedures, the unit aims to increase productivity, enhance patient outcomes, and relieve pressure on staff.
