Construction has begun on a new £20 million health facility in Weybridge.

The new building will provide a modern, integrated health hub offering a range of services including maternity services, same‑day urgent care, diagnostics, and health and wellbeing support. The Phoenix Family Practice will also relocate into the facility.

The development on the former hospital site, is funded by the Department of Health & Social Care (DHSC), NHS Property Services (NHSPS) and NHS Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care Board (ICB).

Stakeholders visited the site this week, where they were shown the construction area an a planned layout of the facility, including main access points and the zones designated for clinical and community services.

Simon Taylor, Director Estates Policy, Strategy and Capital Projects at NHS Property Services said: “This groundbreaking event celebrates a key moment as construction begins on this £20 million investment in Weybridge.

“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, ensuring the Ten-Year-Health-Plan goals are achieved.”

Health Minister, Stephen Kinnock said: “This new health centre is leading the way as a one-stop shop bringing vital services together under one roof, right on people’s doorsteps – whether it’s a GP, maternity care, urgent care or wellbeing support.

“For local people in Weybridge, this means fewer journeys, shorter waits and more coordinated support closer to home. The centre will make care simpler, faster and more convenient, with earlier diagnosis, better prevention and a more seamless patient experience.

“By investing in facilities like this, we are building an NHS that is fit for the future and designed around patients’ needs, shifting more care out of hospital and into the community.”
