The state-of-the-art facility on Marshall Road was opened by Dr Richard Sandford-Hill, a GP partner of Market Lavington surgery, on Wednesday, February 22, shortly after patients were able to start accessing its services.
The building is one of the first integrated care centres in the Wiltshire region and received £11 million of funding from the NHS. It will offer GP appointments, outpatient clinics, community care and mental health support, blood testing and physiotherapy, all under one roof.
Patients at the Lansdowne, Market Lavington, St James and Southbroom surgeries can all be referred to the facilities urgent care service while it will also take on the services previously offered by the Devizes Community Hospital.
Sue Harriman, Chief Executive Officer for the Bath & North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board, said: “I am delighted that the new health centre in Devizes is now open and I would like to pass on my thanks to everyone involved in the delivery of this project. The new centre will provide services to the growing local population, as well as offering enhanced services for our community. We know that being able to offer a range of services under one roof is really important, and this will deliver a number of health benefits to our population.”
