Patients are referred to SDEC via their GP, Paramedics (Welsh Ambulance Service), Accident and Emergency (A&E), or via another route such as an outpatient clinic or community specialist team.

We pride ourselves on having a friendly and welcoming team, where you never feel alone and you get the support that you need.
