Changes to stroke services at Princess of Wales Hospital

As part of work to enable the replacement of the roof of the main building at Princess of Wales Hospital, the Stroke Unit and other Stroke Services, currently based in Princess of Wales Hospital, will be located at Royal Glamorgan Hospital from Thursday 31st October 2024.

If you or a family member are experiencing any of the symptoms of a stroke, you should access the Emergency Department (ED) as normal. The EDs at all of our hospitals (including Princess of Wales) continue to provide the urgent medical treatment needed by those suffering from a stroke.

If patients require ongoing in-patient care for a stroke, once stabilised, they are likely to be transferred to the stroke ward at Royal Glamorgan Hospital.
