Published: 15 October 2020

The Grange University Hospital, will be opening ahead of schedule on November 17th 2020 to help respond to winter season pressures and a potential second wave of Covid-19.

The new hospital based in Llanfrechfa, Cwmbran has 471 bed capacity and features a 24 hour specialist assessment facility, intensive care facilities, comprehensive diagnostic facilities, inpatient beds for major emergencies and complex surgery and theatres.

As NHS services change across Gwent with the opening of the new facility, it is important that residents understand how they will access these services in the future. A leaflet will be delivered to every household prior to the opening of The Grange University Hospital and as the wider changes in the system take effect.
