Work starts on Weybridge health hub

Willmott Dixon has started work on a new £20 million neighbourhood health hub in Weybridge, Surrey.

Procured via the Procure23 framework, the project is being delivered on behalf of NHS Property Services, working in partnership with the Department of Health & Social Care and NHS Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care Board.

The Weybridge facility will bring together a range of primary and community health services under one roof, providing a sustainable response to local needs and forming part of a wider commitment to improving health outcomes and modernising healthcare infrastructure.

Richard Poulter, Willmott Dixon’s Managing Director for the South, said: “We are pleased to be delivering this much-needed community health facility for Weybridge. This development will bring essential health and wellbeing services closer to local residents, creating a modern, accessible centre shaped around the needs of the community.”

Vicky Stobbart, Director of Commissioning and Delivery for NHS Surrey Heartlands, said: “This is a significant milestone for the project. The start of construction work represents years of planning, extensive collaboration and a major investment in the future of this modern health facility and for the health and wellbeing of local people.”

Simon Taylor, Director of Estates Policy, Strategy and Capital Projects, NHS Property Services, added: “We are focused on delivering an NHS estate that is fit for the future and meets the modern health demands of communities across the country. This new neighbourhood health facility will provide more services, which can often prevent ill health, closer to people’s homes.”
