The new medical centre, which is based on Santa Rosa Boulevard in the heart of Chapelford, will provide high-quality facilities for patients and staff. The centre features eight multi-purpose treatment rooms, a spacious and comfortable waiting room, improved car parking and onsite pharmacy with a private consultation room. It also has a dedicated room for breastfeeding and baby changing, in addition to an accessible adult change facility for people with disabilities.
Dr Dan Bunstone, Lead GP at Chapelford Medical Centre said: “We are pleased to announce the opening of our new medical centre on Monday and we are confident that our new building will offer a better experience for both patients and staff. Our new, modern premises will allow us to welcome more patients at the practice and enable us to extend the range of treatments. We will also be able to increase the training we can provide to our staff thus helping us improve staff recruitment and retention. We want to reassure patients that the move should not cause any disruption to our services and we will retain our existing telephone number.”
