The health centre will bring a range of services under one roof

Galliford Try’s Building Southern business has handed over the £12.2m Edenbridge Memorial Health Centre (EMHC) development in Four Elms Road, Edenbridge, Kent.

Developed on behalf of GB Partnerships and in conjunction with Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust, Edenbridge Medical Practice, and Kent and Medway Clinical Commissioning Group, the new EMHC includes community areas and rooms, putting health services at the heart of the community and bringing together a wide range of health services.

The facility, designed by LSI Architects, is a part-two-storey building, with public services on the ground floor and staff amenities on the first floor.

Services include a GP practice, outpatient services, minor injury unit, X-ray services, phlebotomy, therapies, and social prescribing, with around 2000sq m of clinical and community space, along with vehicle parking and landscaping.

In addition to incorporating a memorial garden area for conservation, and an emphasis on health, wellbeing, and lifestyle services; the centre has been designed to be sustainable and in keeping with the local environment.

The project also includes a section 278 agreement for a new entrance and associated bus stop reconfiguration.
