Work starts on Doncaster community health centre

Midlands contractor, G F Tomlinson, has officially commenced construction on the new £7 million Bentley Primary Care Centre in Doncaster, which will bring vital health and community services all under one roof.

The three-storey, 1,215m² care centre is set to complete in spring 2026. It will bring together two existing GP practices – Don Valley Healthcare and The Ransome Practice – offering state-of-the-art facilities for the future delivery of primary services, greater access and choice for patients, and enhanced integration of NHS services.

Aiming to achieve a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating, the scheme will also include sustainability features such as rooftop photovoltaic panels, electric vehicle charging points, and integrated bird and bat boxes within the façade.

Adrian Grocock, Managing Director at G F Tomlinson, said: “We’re very pleased to be working with City of Doncaster Council on this much-needed care facility for the Bentley community. As our first project with the council, we’re excited to build a strong working relationship, while further strengthening our healthcare portfolio.”

Councillor James Church, Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods, Planning and Public Health at City of Doncaster Council said: “We are delighted to see work begin on this project, which will allow for the Bentley community to receive local healthcare more easily and efficiently than ever.”
