West Bromwich Community Hospital Opens Doors

CHEC West Bromwich set to reduce NHS waiting times and increase patient choice

CHEC West Bromwich is ready to welcome patients for cataract surgery after officially opening the doors in West Bromwich city centre. The conveniently located facility will help reduce NHS waiting times and increase patient choice by providing access to ophthalmology services in the community.

With parking and excellent transport links, the new clinical facility is equipped with a state-of-the-art ophthalmology theatre. Now accepting referrals, CHEC West Bromwich is supporting the NHS to reduce waiting times by treating patients for cataracts within four weeks.

Kirandeep Mandahar, Hospital Manager for CHEC West Bromwich, said: “Having shared the news that we’d be opening a site in West Bromwich earlier this year, we’re pleased to have now opened our doors and be able to take on new patients.

“For well over a decade, we’ve been trusted by the NHS to deliver healthcare services including cataracts, free of charge for local people in the community. Cataract surgery is transformative for those who receive it, improving their wellbeing and lifestyle almost instantly.

At CHEC, our priority is ensuring patients are able to exercise choice, receive exceptional care and all have equity of access to our high quality care. We’re excited to now offer that in West Bromwich, and look forward to welcoming our first patients in the coming weeks.”
