Work Complete On New Health Centre In Staffordshire
G F Tomlinson has completed work at the new Greenwood Health Centre in Burntwood, Staffordshire.
The £3.4million medical facility, which is located on Lichfield Road, will to bring first class healthcare facilities to the community and opened earlier this month.
The healthcare facility has been built on a Staffordshire County Council site that had been vacant since 2008, having previously been occupied by a residential care home.
The single-storey health centre replaces the current provision on Hudson Drive approximately 300 metres away, with medical services still being provided by the area’s local GP practice, Darwin Medical Practice, from within the new facility.
Consisting of 12 consulting rooms, five treatment rooms, a healthcare and phlebotomy room, and a health education space with an adjoining pharmacy unit, the Greenwood Medical Centre will provide much-needed upgraded and accessible healthcare facilities for the area.
Landscaping has also been carried out to the facility’s surroundings, with 61 onsite parking spaces created.
G F Tomlinson was selected from the Staffordshire County Council Framework to provide the construction works for the site which began in November last year, this being the contractor’s fifth project secured through the framework.
The scheme has been funded by NHS England's Estates and Technology Transformation Fund, which aims to improve healthcare services for patients across the country with modernised facilities and technology.
Chris Flint, Managing Director of G F Tomlinson, said: "Greenwood House Health Centre is going to be a high-quality healthcare centre for the people of Burntwood: providing a modern, spacious and comfortable facility, which still includes their local GP practice, as well as new accessible treatment rooms, equipment and facilities.
"We're very pleased to have completed this project working with the NHS and our local authority partners - our fifth project on the Staffordshire County Council Framework – delivering another important public service building in the area which will provide upgraded healthcare facilities to the local community."
