The new three-storey health centre has been developed as part of the wider Atheldene regeneration programme with NHS South West London, NHS Property Services, Brocklebank Group Practice, and Wandsworth Council.
It brings together community dental services provided by King’s College Hospital, community health services provided by Central London Community Healthcare, and podiatry services provided by Cora Health.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan said: “I’m delighted that the new Brocklebank Health Centre has opened to provide a range of healthcare services to the community in Wandsworth. By bringing together general practice and community health teams, this state-of-the-art centre is making it easier for local people to access the care they need when they need it. It is a great example of how integrated care can help to improve the lives of Londoners, as we build a healthier London for everyone.”
Sally Tombs, managing director, London, NHS Property Services, said: “We are pleased to support the delivery of this new health centre, providing a modern, purpose-built space that brings services together under one roof. By working closely with our partners, we are helping to create a sustainable healthcare environment that supports integrated care and meets the needs of the local community for many years to come.”
Andrew Bland, chief executive of NHS South West London, said: “The opening of the new Brocklebank Health Centre is great news for patients and the local community. This modern, purpose-built building gives the practice, and wider health teams, the space and facilities they need to provide high-quality care now and in the years ahead.
“Brocklebank shows how the neighbourhood health model can work, with GP, community health, podiatry, and specialist dental services brought together in one place. This supports the direction set out in the government’s 10 Year Health Plan, to provide more joined-up care closer to where people live.
“I want to thank Wandsworth Council, NHS Property Services, and all the local partners who have helped make this new centre possible.”
