Mobile outpatient clinic
Increasing capacity for respiratory appointments
Supporting respiratory services in coastal and rural locations
Respiratory Innovation Wales, with the collaborative support of Hywel Dda University Health Board Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board and Life Sciences Hub Wales, took respiratory diagnostics services closer to homes.
From a leisure centre in Bridgend, to a supermarket carpark in Pembroke Dock, the mobile respiratory unit is helping cut waiting times and improve access to treatment for respiratory services that were impacted by COVID-19.
- Increasing care capacity in underserved areas
- Health education
- Screening services supporting early diagnosis of respiratory conditions
Client testimonial
We are seeing 3 to 4 times more patients than a Health Board would in a hospital setting, because of the community location.

- target identified high deprivation areas, underserved and hard-to-reach communities across the region

We're proud to provide the Trust with 3 self-drive units, enabling NHS staff to drive to locations and provide clinical services.
