Patients in north west London are set to benefit from improved healthcare on their doorstep, as the government rolls out the first neighbourhood health centres – bringing more services into the community.
Once completed, patients will be able to access a greater range of health services from these centres - all under one roof - including include urgent treatment, physiotherapy, GP and pharmacy services.
In time, neighbourhood health centres will also include wider services like debt advice, employment and family support and other voluntary sector support and will be open 12 hours a day, six days a week.
In north west London, Jubilee Gardens Primary Care Centre in Ealing and Alexandra Avenue Health and Social Care Centre in Harrow will be among the first to be refurbished and transformed to help bring a variety of health and care services under one roof.
Will Huxter, Regional Director of Commissioning for NHS England London, said: "These improvements to six of London's neighbourhood health centres represent a real step forward for the capital's communities. At the heart of this programme is a simple but powerful idea: that the neighbourhood is the right place to deliver genuinely improved health for local populations.
“By investing in high quality estate — making the most of the buildings that already sit at the heart of our communities — we are creating the conditions for joined-up, proactive care that works around people's lives. For Londoners in some of our most deprived areas, that means faster access to the right support, closer to home, and services that look beyond the immediate condition to address the wider factors affecting their health."
At Jubilee Gardens in Ealing, existing office and records space will be converted into around five new clinical rooms, building on the centre's existing GP practices and community services.
At Alexandra Avenue in Harrow — which already delivers over 120,000 additional patient appointments per year — will gain 14 new consulting rooms, dramatically improving the utilisation of a building where bookable space is currently used just 11% of the time.
The improvements to these sites in north west London, and a further four in other London boroughs, form part of the first wave of 27 upgraded centres nationally, due to be completed by 2027.
They are the first of 50 centres backed by a total of £200 million in government investment, with the government committed to upgrading or opening 250 neighbourhood health centres across England by 2036 — with the first 120 complete by 2030.
The programme is a central part of the government's 10 Year Health Plan, which sets out a fundamental shift from hospital to community care, reducing pressure on the NHS, cutting waiting lists, and improving access to services where people live.
