Construction begins on £20 million health hub in Weybridge
New facility aims to revolutionise healthcare services for the local community
Construction has started on a new £20 million healthcare facility in Weybridge, funded by the Department of Health & Social Care, NHS Property Services, and NHS Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care Board.
Stakeholders visited the site this week to witness the progress and view the planned layout of the facility, which will include areas for clinical and community services.
The new building is set to become a modern health hub, offering various services including maternity care, urgent same-day treatment, diagnostics, and health and wellbeing support.
Phoenix Family Practice will be relocating to this new space, which features a flexible first-floor allowing for service adaptations in response to local demand.
Vicky Stobbart, Director of Commissioning and Delivery for NHS Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care Board, says she is confident this will benefit generations to come
"The start of construction work represents years of planning and extended collaboration, where we have worked together to design a brand-new facility that will help improve the health and wellbeing of local people for generations to come."
Dr Graeme Wilding – GP Partner from The Phoenix Family Practice says the facility will provide stability
"Over the past eight years, despite limited space and facilities, our staff at the Phoenix Family Practice has continued to provide safe, compassionate and professional care.
Reaching this stage is a significant milestone, and we’re delighted to see the new building finally underway.
The new facility will allow us to expand our services, offer a more welcoming environment for patients and give us the stability we need for the future."
