Speech therapists to work in new facility in Falkirk
Friday 9th April 2010
A number of health professionals with jobs as speech therapists are to begin working in a new medical centre.
Set to be located on the current Falkirk District Royal Infirmary site, the facility will cost around £9 million and will be a mixture of buildings that already exist and custom-designed additions, the Linlithgow Journal & Gazette reports.
The Falkirk Community Hospital will house around 100 inpatient beds for those who need to stay for one night or more.
In addition, it will have a range of outpatient services, such as rehabilitation, palliative care and speech therapy.
The centre will treat people from the surrounding area in Bo'ness and Blackness.
Recently, a mother praised the work of speech therapists at Woodlands Language Unit who treated her son, saying they helped to transform his life, Derry Today reported.
She revealed that her family was "blown away" by the high standard of care he received.
