A new well-being and healthcare hub has opened in Carmarthen.

The Medispace hub, located on the Parc Dewi Sant site, offers a variety of medical services, including a private GP surgery.

The 38-acre site, with a history dating back to 1850, was purchased by Parc Dewi Sant Limited in May from Carmarthenshire County Council.

The company then announced its redevelopment plans, focusing on health and well-being benefits for the community.

These plans include retaining and recruiting both NHS and private health providers.

The Medispace hub provides medical businesses and professionals with the opportunity to rent treatment rooms for their practice.

The aim is to offer the Carmarthen community, and beyond, a range of private health services, including GP facilities, audiology, and physiotherapy.

The hub also caters to practitioners who do not have a base or mainly work from home.

Medical practitioners joining the Medispace community will benefit from a fully serviced, recently refurbished, professional space with a communal reception.

The building will comply with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW) requirements, and support will be given to practitioners operating from Medispace to ensure their own HIW compliance.

In one of its first key developments, Parc Dewi Sant’s owner has worked in partnership with leading private medical service provider, iGP, who is due to offer its services from later this month.

The Medispace site is located to the west of Carmarthen town centre, a short drive from the A48, and is accessible by bus and car, with a 720 space car park.

A spokesperson for Parc Dewi Sant said: "Medispace represents the positive changes we intend to make for the Carmarthenshire community with the Parc Dewi Sant site.

"With the broad scope of services to provide, and the site’s accessibility, Parc Dewi Sant is set to bring incredible benefits to the health and well-being of the local community.

"With the option to rent serviced treatment rooms, Medispace will attract medical professionals and businesses to Carmarthen, providing the opportunity of excellent healthcare for as many people as possible, as well as creating a professional medical hub in Carmarthen."
