Funding and development skills – the key to a successful new primary care facility

Providing a new home for a semi-rural teaching practice in a village conservation area was a tall order, especially with virtually no suitable building plots available. The ideal location was on the clinic’s existing site but the footprint of the proposed building was too large to allow phased construction alongside the old facility, which meant that interim accommodation for the practice would have to be provided elsewhere. Benefitting from Prima 200’s funding and development expertise, the solution came when the village cricket club released land for a new temporary surgery, allowing a new build on the practice’s existing site. This ensured an affordable premises solution that would deliver the purpose-built facility and space to house the practice’s expanding range of services.
