The centre features a GP practice, outpatient services, a minor injury unit, x-ray services, phlebotomy, therapies, and social prescribing, as well as a memorial garden area for conservation, and an emphasis on health, wellbeing and lifestyle services.
The EMHC project was also recently awarded the Silver award at the Considerate Constructors Scheme National Awards.

I wish the team the best success at the awards ceremony in June.鈥澛�
