A new health hub which is being hailed as ‘the future of primary care services’ is set to open later this year.

The £8m West Hull Health Hub, which will replace Springhead Medical Centre, is just weeks away from opening its doors to patients.

Designed to meet an expected increase in patient numbers, the two-storey building has 32 clinical rooms, including GP and nurse consulting rooms, treatment rooms, clinical support areas and office accommodation, as well as a reception and waiting area, a wheelchair-accessible lift, baby changing area and buggy parking, a pharmacy, and car park.

Being built by Sewell Construction for Citycare, it will be run by Modality Partnership (Hull) and will bring a number of community and primary care services together under one roof.

Dr Bushra Ali, GP and Partner at Modality Partnership and a member of the NHS Hull CCG Board, said: “Reaching the point where West Hull Health Hub is almost ready to open has been many years in the planning and to see it rise from the ground and take shape over the past year has been incredible.

“It will make such a difference to patients and clinicians, providing greater access to existing and improved health services, increased appointments and more flexibility and space in a fit-for-purpose environment.

“We need to have the facilities to adapt and be flexible, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and this much-needed building will benefit thousands of patients in west Hull.”

Erica Daley, Chief Operating Officer at NHS Hull CCG, added: “The new West Hull Health Hub is a much-welcomed and long-awaited development for the west of the city, which will provide first-class premises for a range of clinical services for patients of Springhead Medical Practice.

“And everyone involved in this important development is looking forward to the day, now only a few weeks away, when the new building opens, and the first patients start to access services.”
