New sites in Ilford and Milton Keynes will further extend CHEC’s community-focused endoscopy and ophthalmology services across England.
In a significant stride towards enhancing healthcare services, CHEC is thrilled to announce the grand opening of not one, but two cutting-edge hospitals dedicated to providing first-class ophthalmology and endoscopy services to patients within the NHS network. These state-of-the-art facilities represent CHEC’s continued commitment to providing world-class healthcare to the community.
The new hospitals will support in alleviating the ongoing pressure on NHS services, with ophthalmology facing the second highest backlogs nationwide. In Milton Keynes, ophthalmology waiting times for treatments have been estimated at 32 weeks, while the average waiting period in Ilford is 14 weeks. By contrast, CHEC offers high-quality ophthalmology and endoscopy services to patients within four weeks.
The two new hospitals will provide ophthalmology and endoscopy services in the heart of the community. Comfortable waiting areas, modern treatment rooms and a warm atmosphere ensure that patients feel at ease throughout their healthcare journey. Both centres are conveniently located to ensure easy accessibility for patients across the region. CHEC's community door to door transport initiative ensures that these new centres are accessible for all, regardless of age or mobility.
The launch of the new centres reaffirms CHEC's commitment to supporting the NHS and its patients across the UK. The cutting-edge medical facilities, combined with expedited appointments and exceptional patient care, underscore CHEC's dedication to enhancing healthcare services and making a positive impact in communities nationwide.
Jose Bailey, Commercial Director at CHEC, commented: "Our centres in Ilford and Milton Keynes mark a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to elevate healthcare standards. By incorporating innovations, technology, highly-skilled medical professionals, and a dedication to patient wellbeing, we aim to reshape the healthcare landscape and contribute to the overall health and happiness of communities.
"These hospitals stand as a testament to what can be achieved when healthcare, innovation, and compassion converge; we delightedly look forward to welcoming patients.”
