Foxhill Medical Centre

Details of the new Foxhill Medical Centre were put on display in the existing surgery, including plans and architect’s impressions. Representatives from NHS Sheffield and Community 1st Sheffield were also on hand to speak to patients and local residents about the scheme, answer any questions and collect feedback.

The new medical centre, due to be complete in early 2011, will house facilities for minor procedures, counselling and therapy services and physiotherapy as well as GPs and a pharmacy in a brand new purpose-built facility.

Patients and residents were invited to have their say by completing a questionnaire about the new facility and the results will feed into the development process. The overall feedback on the design proposals from the community was positive with most people agreeing that the new premises would be a vast improvement on the existing cramped and outdated building.

A disused community centre off Fox Hill Road has been earmarked for demolition to make way for the centre, which is key to the ongoing regeneration of the area.
