CHEC, a UK provider of community healthcare, has confirmed that it will be opening a new hospital in Canterbury’s city centre.
The new hospital will be located at The Riverside, with free underground parking and ‘excellent public transport links’. CHEC says it is currently fitting out its new building into a ‘state-of-the-art clinical’ facility complete with one ophthalmology theatre. The company says the new facility will help reduce NHS waiting times and increase patient choice by providing access to ophthalmology, ENT, and dermatology services in the community.
Working with the NHS, CHEC has more than 30 community hospitals and 90 community clinics nationwide. The addition of CHEC in Canterbury strengthens its existing Southern England stronghold, which already includes hospitals throughout Berkshire, London, and Hertfordshire.
