Children's centres

Swansea Bay University Health Board is made up of two main localities: Swansea and Neath Port Talbot. As part of the specialist community paediatric service, each area has its own dedicated children’s centre which is based on the site of their main local hospital.  

The children’s centres were established to provide a specialist, purpose-built space for children and their families to receive the specialist and individual care they need.

With close links to education and social services, they provide an all-round community service for children aged 0-19 years with additional needs and their families. 

Having dedicated children’s centres also means that professionals from a range of different clinical and therapeutic disciplines can be co-located to promote closer multidisciplinary working.

This helps us to ensure children and their families receive excellent holistic care from a team of multidisciplinary professionals and are seen by the most appropriate professional for their needs.
