A new state-of-the-art Health and Wellbeing Centre has been delivered for Bromley, allowing health and wellbeing services to begin operating from the heart of the town centre.
The new centre offers a welcoming environment for local health services with spacious consulting and treatment rooms, bright new reception areas, modern heating and lighting systems, and will include a GP surgery.
The handing over of this dedicated space follows a long-held aspiration to see new health facilities come forward in Bromley. Public health, care and prevention services, including those delivered by voluntary sector partners, will also use the new space. The new bespoke centre has been tailored to local health needs to improve health facilities in the town centre, and forms part of the Bromley Civic Centre building at Churchill Court, located opposite Bromley South train station and the Police Station. The address of the health and wellbeing centre is Ravensleigh House, 22 Westmoreland Place, Bromley, BR1 1DS and is found on the walkway to St Mark’s Square.
Councillor Diane Smith, Executive Councillor for Adult Care and Health said: “This new state-of-the-art Health and Wellbeing Centre is enacting our vision of bringing local health services together in the heart of Bromley town centre, while also making best use of our wider Civic Centre building by locating our partners nearby. Now these works are complete, I am pleased that our health partners can begin delivering services for local residents from the new building, as we have been envisaging since we began.”
Dr Angela Bhan, Bromley’s NHS Place Executive Lead said: “I am pleased that through our partnership work with the council we are now bringing these important services together, with all the health benefits this entails for residents. The vision for this new centre is about fulfilling long term health needs in the borough and ensuring services work efficiently and effectively together. Together we will provide joined up personalised care for our residents, in line with our One Bromley strategy.”
The new health and wellbeing centre will house health partners from January including the Dysart Surgery, the GP surgery that has relocated to the site from Ravensbourne Road. The One Bromley Wellbeing Hub that was previously housed at The Glades has also relocated to the centre, with further details online.
