Laya healthcare opens second Laya Health and Wellbeing clinic in Dublin

New 25,000 sq ft clinic to open in Swords resulting in 25 new jobs

Laya healthcare today announced the launch of a new Laya Health & Wellbeing Clinic in Swords Business Campus, Swords, Co Dublin. This will increase the nationwide network of Laya Health and Wellbeing Clinics to four and add an additional clinic to the Dublin area making it the fastest growing urgent care network in Ireland.

The North Dublin clinic will offer a range of health and wellbeing services including walk-in urgent care for the treatment of minor injuries and illnesses where patients as young as 12 months+ will be seen within 60 minutes - available to laya healthcare members and non-members. All Laya Health and Wellbeing Clinics have diagnostic imaging on-site continuing laya healthcare’s promise to improve access and ensure the current and future healthcare needs of members. The Laya Health and Wellbeing Clinic in Swords will provide X-Ray, MRI, Ultrasound and Dexa scan.

The investment of over €3million in the opening of this brand-new Laya Health and Wellbeing Clinic in North Co. Dublin will result in a new 25,000 sq ft clinic which will treat approximately 30,000 patients annually. As part of the expansion, 25 new jobs will be created including clinical and administrative teams.  As with all Laya Health and Wellbeing clinics, it will be open 365 days per year from 10am – 10pm.

This clinic opening continues laya healthcare’s expansion and investment in its clinics since the first clinic opening in 2019, providing better healthcare access for members. Laya healthcare has seen an increased demand for the clinics year on year and in the past year alone footfall has increased by over 50%, with minor injuries being the highest reason for clinic presentations. The demand for this new Laya Health & Wellbeing Clinic is expected to be high due to the growing population of over 40,000 in Swords, and the fact that many from surrounding areas are likely to travel for the prompt service rather than presenting in busy A&E departments for lengthy periods.

The new clinic will provide;

• Access to the right care at the right time and Consultant-led urgent care for minor injuries and illness available to members and non-members alike – be seen within 60 minutes with the average out of pocket cost for members of €40
• A dedicated wellbeing space for the range of wellbeing services including Physio, HeartBeat (available to members over the age of 12) and HealthCoach (available to members over the age of 18) screening programmes with further plans for preventative health screening to be announced in 2024 (available exclusively to laya healthcare members)
• Faster access to world class diagnostic imaging including MRI, X-Ray, Dexa Scan, and Ultrasound
• For maximum ease and convenience, patients can be directly referred to an Orthopaedic Consultant in the Fracture Clinic located in the clinic for follow up patient care.

Commenting on the major investment and expansion of the Laya Health and Wellbeing clinic network, John Mc Call, Director of Claims and Provider Relations said;

“Today is a momentous day as we mark the significant investment of €3million in our Laya Health and Wellbeing Clinics, which is in response to the ongoing demand for our existing clinic services. Our clinic will offer members and non-members alike access to an array of healthcare services from preventative wellbeing all the way through to the treatment.  Contributing to the ambition of Slaintecare, we firmly believe in the importance of delivering the right care at the right time, and that is why our clinics are open 365 days per year with consultant-led care delivered within one hour.”

Mother of three and Laya Health and Wellbeing Ambassador, Anna Daly who was onsite for the official launch of the clinic, spoke about the convenience of the urgent care service and her experience to date:

“As a laya healthcare member, it is great to see the new Laya Health Wellbeing Clinic open in Swords today featuring state of the art facilities, all of which are accessible to the local community. The Swords clinic makes it even easier to access consultant led health and wellbeing services across Dublin and the surrounding areas. As a busy mum of three young boys, I have used the Laya Health & Wellbeing urgent care clinic services in the past and was so impressed with the treatment that was received. Knowing that a patient will be seen within 60 minutes offers huge peace of mind and convenience.”
