A joint facility by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and the NHS, build in Catterick, will treat thousands of patients a year, including the military and their families, thanks to £110 million funding from the government.

The project first set in motion in 2021, when construction firm Tilbury Douglas was awarded the contract to build the site by the MOD.

The Catterick Integrated Care Centre (CICC) in Yorkshire is the first building of its kind, and will employ more than 300 skilled medical personal from the MOD and the NHS to treat more than 1,000 people a day.

Catterick Garrison is home to over 14,000 military personnel, and the centre will offer a holistic range of healthcare options, including primary care, rehabilitation, mental health support, and specialist treatments. Military personal, their families, and non-military civilians will all be treated at the same place.

Michelle Hagger, programme manager from NHS Humber and North Yorkshire ICB said: “The concept began in 2015, and our vision is now inching ever closer to reality. This purpose-build, state-of-the-art facility will bring together a broad range of integrated and responsive health and care services under one roof, helping ensure residents across Richmondshire can access the right care, in the right place, at the right time.”

Paul Ellenor, regional director for Yorkshire and the Northeast at Tilbury Douglas, said: “This represents a landmark investment in integrated healthcare, and Tilbury Douglas is proud to be at the forefront of its delivery. It reflects the strength of collaboration between the Ministry of Defence, the NHS, and delivery partners. 

"This pioneering facility will not only transform access to healthcare for both military and civilian communities, but also set a new standard for integrated service delivery. We’re proud to contribute a project that enhances long-term wellbeing, strengthens local partnerships, and supports national priorities around Defence health and public care infrastructure.”
