Bronllys Hospital near Brecon
IN A bid to grow their own health and care workers, Powys County Council and Powys Teaching Health Board have joined forces to develop a training academy.
At PCC cabinet meeting on Tuesday, December 15, councillors approved the Health and Care Academy Blueprint document and vision.
A site at Bronllys Hospital in Brecon has already been earmarked to be an initial base for the project, which would spread to Newtown as part of the North Powys Wellbeing programme.
Creating it’s own training facility is a way to address the lack of workers in this vital sector.
