Grange University Hospital

The GUH will be purpose built to provide care for those who require complex specialist or critical care. The hospital will include a 24 hour assessment unit, dealing with all major emergencies and resuscitation cases; intensive care facilities, comprehensive diagnostic services, theatres and a consultant led Obstetric Unit. The hospital will also have a dedicated Paediatric Assessment Unit which will manage all paediatric emergencies apart from minor injuries and some GP referrals, in addition to a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. These will be supported by a range of services including pathology, pharmacy, radiology, including MRI and CT scanners. There will also be a helipad for rapid transportation of emergency cases.

Emergency Surgery and Medical emergency admissions, including emergency Gynaecology and Trauma, will be admitted straight to a specialty bed or to the Emergency Assessment Unit under the care of the specialty team. The GUH will deliver these services for the populations of Newport, Monmouthshire, Torfaen, Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, and South Powys. This equates to a catchment population of over 600,000. Our Enhanced Local General Hospitals; Nevill Hall Hospital, Royal Gwent Hospital and Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr and supporting Local Hospitals; Ysbyty Aneurin Bevan, Chepstow Hospital and County Hospital will provide the majority of care for people who do not need access to critical care services and will continue to offer diagnostics, therapy and inpatient care.
