Singleton Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Singleton) is a 550-bed hospital located in Sketty Lane, Swansea, Wales, operated by Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board. The main building was completed in 1968. The hospital adjoins Singleton Park and the Singleton Park campus of Swansea University where there is a nursing school and a school of medicine. Singleton Hospital hosts one of the teaching centres for Swansea University School of Medicine;[1] the other teaching centre is based at the nearby Morriston Hospital.
