Bradley has welcomed the opening of the new Minor Injury Unit (MIU) at the Princess of Wales Community Hospital.
The local MP recently visited the hospital where he was taken on a tour of the new MIU.
Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust, which runs the hospital, has invested £1.6 million into the development of a modern, purpose-built facility aimed at improving patient experience and streamlining care delivery.
The Trust reached the decision to invest in Bromsgrove's Minor Injury Unit in November 2023.
Bradley said:
“Improving hospital access is a key part of My Plan for Bromsgrove and the Villages, so I’m really pleased to see this £1.6 million investment in a new and expanded Minor Injury Unit at the Princess of Wales Community Hospital.
“Our MIU reduces pressure on A&E and ensures local residents can receive advice and treatment for a variety of injuries.
“This significant investment in our local hospital secures its long-term future as a vital community asset.
During his visit, Bradley also visited Meadow Ward at the New Haven Unit, an 18 bedded assessment service for people over the age of 65 experiencing difficulties with their thinking, behaviour or communication which may be due to dementia.
“Having previously written to the team at New Haven to congratulate them on being shortlisted for a prestigious award for their involvement in Meadow Green, an innovative dementia garden, which they went on to win, it was fantastic to meet them in person and to see Meadow Green for myself,” Bradley added.
“They’re doing amazing work, work they’re clearly passionate about, and so I want to say thank you again to the team for all that they do to care for some of the most vulnerable people in our society.”
