The clinic, at the University of South Wales’ Treforest campus, was unveiled by Sarah Murphy MS, minister for mental health and wellbeing.
The new facility supports USW’s Welsh Institute of Chiropractic and expands the university’s Treforest campus, offering a comprehensive space for chiropractic education and clinical training.
Ms Murphy said: “It is a pleasure to open the new Chiropractic Clinic, which will provide state-of-the-art facilities and ensure current and future students receive a high-quality education and serve the community, delivering more than 25,000 patient appointments each year.”
The clinic features 26 treatment rooms, seminar spaces, DXA bone density and diagnostic ultrasound equipment, and sustainability features such as solar panels and a Blue-Green roof.
Almost 100 students will train at the clinic each year under the supervision of qualified practitioners.
Professor David Byfield, head of clinical services at the Welsh institute of Chiropractic, said: “The completion of the new clinic provides the finishing touch to the Chiropractic degree programme at USW, bringing pre-clinical teaching and clinical placement under one roof, enhancing our student’s experience on their path to becoming a health care professional.”
