Morriston is the largest hospital in the City and County of Swansea and is operated by Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board. Alongside its role as a district general hospital, Morriston is a teaching hospital for medical students of Swansea University Medical School. Most services are housed in buildings constructed since 1981.
