Did you know that the majority of people (77%) in Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Bridgend are non-smokers?

Want to join them? We can help! If you are thinking of quitting smoking and would like support please call Stop Smoking Wales on 0800 085 2219 or visit www.stopsmokingwales.com.

Our hospitals are smoke-free environments

Most smokers respect other patients and visitors and don't smoke outside our hospital entrances or in our grounds. If you smoke, please be just as considerate and don't light up. All our hospitals are smoke-free, which means smoking isn't allowed in buildings and grounds, including car parks and entrances. Thanks for your co-operation and respect for others!

10/01/2013 Disruption to traffic at Singleton Hospital: We have received information from Swansea City Council that on the Monday 14th Jan 2013 there will be scheduled work commencing on the traffic lights at Singleton Hospital's entrance. Swansea City Council has estimated that this work will take 4 to 6 weeks to complete. There is going to be some disruption to the traffic flow and pedestrian crossings for the period of the work.

The first stage will affect the middle pedestrian crossing at the entrance of Singleton Hospital. All pedestrian access will need to use the top or bottom crossing during the first stage of replacement of the lights. Due to the severity of disruption that may be caused Swansea City Council have stated that one of the three lanes at the entrance will be made as a priority lane for Ambulance Vehicles and Public Transport to gain access to the site.

Singleton is a modern District General Hospital with 550 beds situated on Swansea Bay, adjacent to the campus of Swansea University. There are Acute General Medical, Care of the Elderly, General Surgical, Ophthalmology, ENT and Radiotherapy Departments in addition to High Dependency Unit, Coronary Care Unit and the Obstetric and Gynaecological Departments. A number of these departments provide sub-regional services as well as secondary care services (e.g. Ophthalmology, ENT, Dermatology). These services are supported by a General 9-bed ITU and HDU facility and a range of high quality therapeutic and diagnostic services.

There is a Maternity Unit and a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (recognised as a sub-regional Centre). Genetic counselling clinics are held weekly and there is a major Genito-Urinary medicine Unit that provides a service for South West Wales as does the Department of Medical Physics and Radiotherapy. Bone Marrow Transplants are carried out by the Haematology service.

Singleton has its own 24-hour Minor Injury Unit and Medical Assessment Unit.

The Hospital also houses the sub-regional Cancer Centre and as such provides specialist Oncology services to South West Wales, as well as complex cancer cases within the other specialties onsite (e.g. Oral Maxillofacial, ENT, Colorectal, Upper GI). The South West Wales Cancer Institute and a separate Chemotherapy Day Unit are also at Singleton.

Increasingly Obstetrics services are also being provided for complex cases in South West Wales.

The Children's Wards and Paediatric Assessment Unit are no longer at Singleton Hospital. They have now been transferred to Morriston Hospital.
