Radcliffe Primary Care Centre to be transformed into one of the country's first neighbourhood health centres
Radcliffe Primary Care Centre in Bury has been selected as one of 27 sites nationwide to become a neighbourhood health centre, receiving £2.74 million in government funding. The transformation will create a one-stop-shop health service offering extended hours and a wide range of health and community support services under one roof. The centre will address both health issues and wider causes of health problems, with services including urgent treatment, GP and pharmacy services, debt advice, housing and social support, employment advice, and family support. The project aims to reduce pressure on hospitals, improve care quality, and make healthcare more accessible. The centre is expected to be completed by 2027 and is part of a government plan to open 250 centres across the country by 2036.
