CHEC, one of the UKβs leading providers of community healthcare, has welcomed its first NHS patients after officially opening the doors at its Kings Norton site in Birmingham.
The conveniently located facility will help reduce NHS waiting times and increase patient choice by providing timely access to ophthalmology services such as cataracts, YAG Laser, and Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) to local residents.
With free parking and excellent transport links, the new clinical facility is equipped with a state-of-the-art ophthalmology theatre. Now accepting referrals, the community hospital is supporting the NHS to reduce waiting times by treating patients within four weeks.
βFor well over a decade, weβve been trusted by the NHS to deliver healthcare services free of charge to local communities, and weβre very excited to be opening our doors in Kings Norton.
βPatient choice, exceptional care, and equity of access are central to our operations and ethos, which is why weβre proud to collaborate with NHS partners nationwide, helping to keep waiting times to a minimum while delivering the very best quality of care.
βWe look forward to welcoming patients, and invite the local community to get in touch and learn more about how we work with the NHS to make much-needed treatments more readily accessible.β
