Cardigan Integrated Health and Social Care Resource Centre

The new high-quality centre provides modern, integrated health and social care services, together with third sector organisations, in high quality, purpose-built premises for people living in Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, and Pembrokeshire. It offers a ‘one-stop-shop’ approach to support the provision of high-quality care for the local population. It brings care closer to home and provides services which are flexible and responsive to individual’s needs. It also provides the opportunity for sharing knowledge, resulting in improved standards of care and better outcomes for all, with an enhanced working environment for staff.

This new three-storey centre provides dental services, a GP practice, minor injury service with telemedicine links to the emergency department, pharmacy, diagnostics including x-ray and pre-operative assessment facilities, ambulatory care, and rehabilitation services. The building is reinforced concrete, with contiguous bored piles and the project also involved a major earthworks package.

• To ensure a smooth handover process and client satisfaction, we began consultation with the client services at the start of the project, allowing them to visit the site and track their satisfaction with progress
• The topsoil needed for the project was stored on site in order to cut costs
• Tree and grass seed planting was undertaken earlier than scheduled to ensure the site was aesthetically pleasing prior to handover
