Ideally situated between Wales's capital city, Cardiff, to the south, the coastal town of Porthcawl to the west, and the stunning scenery of the Brecon Beacons to the north, we operate within a vibrant community, rich in history and heritage.
Services are delivered across a network of Community Clinics, Health Centres, and Community Hospitals supported by three District General Hospitals: Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend, Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil, and Royal Glamorgan Hospital in Llantrisant.
