Village Medical Centre and Pharmacy

NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board

This project involved the redevelopment of the current Medical Centre premises due to some of the clinical rooms being undersized and the current footprint not allowing space for the anticipated increase in list size consequential from planned housing growth in the locality.

The development of this site is intended to allow for the growth that is not only projected but has been witnessed throughout the recent years at the existing Village Medical Centre and pharmacy.

The new development to the existing centre will allow for more efficient working with the facilities to support a larger capacity of patients and activities, and allowing facilities to be adequately sized to the required NHS standards set out in the Health building Notes. The alterations also allow the health centre to take on walk-in day appointments to alleviate the stress of local hospitals.

A key feature of this development is the improvement and modernisation of the pharmacy, including a new Integrated dispensing robot. This robot is one of the first of its kind in the UK and will massively improve the capacity and efficiency of the pharmacy, contributing to the efficient processing for the local community.

This project is currently in the planning phase.
