iGP launches private healthcare services at Parc Dewi Sant site

Leading private medical service provider iGP has launched its services at the Medispace centre at Parc Dewi Sant.

iGP offers GP, nurse, occupational health, counselling, physiotherapy, and cosmetic treatments across south Wales, as well as tests, screens and vaccinations. It currently has sites in Cardiff, Newport and Swansea, as well as providing online services. In addition to its expansion into Carmarthen, iGP celebrated 20 years of providing high quality medical services in 2024.

After purchasing the historic Carmarthenshire site in May 2024, Parc Dewi Sant Ltd announced its plans for redevelopment, with health and wellbeing benefits for the local community at the forefront. In one of its first key developments, Parc Dewi Sant’s owner has worked in collaboration with iGP, to develop Medispace, a well-being and health hub to provide the local Carmarthen community with a range of private health services.

Medispace provides medical businesses and professionals the opportunity to rent Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (“HIW”) compliant treatment rooms for their own practice, with a range of private health services available such as GP facilities, audiology and physiotherapy.

The facilities currently open at the Parc Dewi Sant site, as well as Medispace, include a café, recently converted from a hospital building to provide a wellness pit stop among the site’s green surroundings, NHS services, The Living Well Centre, Swansea University Advanced Nurse Training Facilities and a non-clinical space for talking therapies and beauty called Space to Breathe.

Dr Joanna Longstaffe, Founder and Clinical Director at iGP, said: “We are very excited to be working with Parc Dewi Sant to launch Medispace. The Parc Dewi Sant site holds a huge amount of history and is well loved by the community of Carmarthen, so it is wonderful to see the site be used for such a beneficial project.

“Working together with Medispace, iGP can help ensure that the people of Carmarthen have easy access to high quality, safe and accountable health and wellbeing services.”

A spokesperson for Parc Dewi Sant said: “When we purchased the Parc Dewi Sant site, our goal was to create high-quality health and wellbeing services for the local community, and our partnership with iGP will only bolster this. We have been delighted to welcome iGP to Parc Dewi Sant, and are incredibly grateful for their support in the development of Medispace.

“iGP’s services, lined up our current and prospective developments, helps us to maximise the wellness opportunities we can provide for the local community, whether through employment or treatment, and stays true to our vision for the site.”
