Beverley Health Centre in east Yorkshire has been the subject of a £241,000 revamp aimed at optimising space and creating room for Manor Road Surgery to expand its patient list to address future demand for health services.  

Working together, the site’s landlord, Assura; its sub-landlord, NHS Property Services (NHSPS); and East Riding of Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) devised a way in which the existing space in the building could be repurposed to provide an additional four consulting rooms for Manor Road Surgery’s GPs, expanding access to healthcare in the locality.

The works will be financed by £241,000 of combined funding from the CCG and Assura and seek to create an additional 210sq m of high-quality clinical space within the building. 

In addition to these refurbishment works, the building will also undergo environmental improvements, including the installation of new floors, fittings, and a climate control system.

Richard Dodson, chief finance officer at East Riding of Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group, said: “We are pleased to have been able to support the development at Beverley Health Centre.

“The population of Beverley and surrounding areas continues to grow and this refurbishment to create additional space will help to ensure GP services in Beverley remain sustainable and continue to meet the primary care health needs of local patients.”  

Thomas Britcliffe, principal portfolio optimisation manager at North East and North West England, added: “We hope that our work on Beverley Health Centre will not only provide a more-pleasant environment for patients and NHS colleagues alike, but will futureproof the building to meet increasing demand for healthcare locally.”
