A one-of-a-kind health and wellbeing hub has been completed, supporting staff at Chesterfield Royal Hospital.

The £2m, charity-funded facility was built by Stepnell and opened as the country celebrated the 75^th anniversary of the NHS.

The building includes a state-of-the-art gym, counselling rooms, and areas for complimentary therapies and group or individual consultations.  

The work was carried out in conjunction with Southgate and Sarabia Architects, MAC Consulting, and Adept Consulting Engineers, utilising BIM co-ordination software and OneClick to enhance project discussions and early engagement with stakeholders.

Tom Sewell, regional director at Stepnell, said: “Our team has gone above and beyond to ensure quality throughout the design and build of this new health and wellbeing hub.

“As well as ensuring the project was built on time and within budget, we were also proud to have supported the hospital alongside local people, communities, and businesses to help raise the required project funds. 

“We are thrilled with the end result and the positive feedback received from stakeholders across the project.” 

Dr Hal Spencer, hospital chief executive, added: “We want to be recommended as a place to come to work and for the clinical care we provide and the health and wellbeing hub is pretty unique in allowing us to offer this kind of facility to colleagues.”
